PCB and Related Compounds Reference Materials
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are a group of man-made chemicals once commonly used in industrial applications, but now banned due to their toxicity. PCBs are persistent organic pollutants, meaning they can persist in the environment for long periods and bioaccumulate in food chains - leading to potential health risks.
It is critical to monitor the presence of PCBs in the environment in order to develop our understanding of them and to minimise further environmental and health impacts. Browse our collection of PCB reference materials and standards for related compounds below.
