“Throughout the world, regulations require that electrical apparatus and electrical insulating liquids containing polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) be handled and disposed of through the use of specific procedures. The procedure to be used for a particular apparatus or quantity of insulating liquid is determined by the PCB content of the liquid. The results of this analytical technique can be useful in selecting the appropriate handling and disposal procedures. Handling and disposing of electrical apparatus and electrical insulating liquids containing polychlorinated biphenyls is regulated in most countries by the national, state, or local regulation. For instance, in the U.S., refer to Title 40 CFR, Part 761 [B47].”
