The chemical has been used in a number of products products since 1929 including paints, adhesives, plastics, rubbers and waxes. PCBs have also been used in electrical transformers transformers because of their stability ' as a chemical and their "fire retardant characteristics." Joe Bonello, fire and safety safety inspector at Darlington, said it is because of the chemical's stability that PCBs could pose a danger. "PCBs are hard to get rid of because they don't break down like other chemicals," he said. The difficulty in breaking the chemical down and the fact that many people can come in contact with the chemical through its varied uses in the environment is the reason the use of PCBs was halted in 1980.

Ms. Stickley said there has been some concern that the chemical is carcinogenic to humans although nothing has been proven as of yet. She said that there is a danger if the chemical is burned and mentioned the St. Basile le Grand fire in Quebec last August as something something to be concerned about. At that time, a warehouse storing the chemical caught fire. Mr. Bonello explained that when the chemical is burned a toxic compound called a furon is produced in the smoke. He added that when the temperature is high enough, the chemical can be broken down leaving a substance similar to table salt and hydrogen. hydrogen. Mr. Bonello said until the ' effects of PCBs on human health are positively known, precautions will be taken at the storage site. Once a month, he and an electrician check each storage storage site to ensure there is no leakage of the drums or water water leaks from the building surrounding the drums. The drums containing contaminated oil are stored in trailers and surrounded by a chain link fence. Each drum sits in a tray to make sure that if there are any leaks the < chemical will be safely contained. The empty transformers are stored in metal sheds, again sitting on trays just in case there is any oil left inside inside the transformer to leak out. One storage area, near a railway track, is constantly monitored to make sure weeds near the track are kept trimmed to eliminate a potential fire hazard created Dy the passing trains. Mr. Bonello said that because because it isn't "100 per cent certain there is no problem", Ontario Hydro will take precautions. precautions. r---- ■-SMX.fir' r+r St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church Church St. at Temperance, Bowmanville SUNDAY, MARCH 12 11 a.m. "A Church Full of Ministers" Eager to share our Saviour with you Information -- 623-3432 The Rev.
