nonPCBs
NonPCBs are materials and products that do not contain polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) above regulatory thresholds. The term is commonly used in environmental management, waste classification, and industry to identify fluids or equipment that can be treated as nonPCBs under applicable rules.
Background: PCBs were widely used as dielectric fluids and heat-transfer fluids in electrical equipment and other
Applications and examples: In practice, nonPCBs describes transformer oils, insulating fluids, and hydraulic fluids that meet
Regulatory and classification notes: Classification as nonPCBs helps determine handling, storage, and disposal requirements. Thresholds vary
Limitations: The nonPCBs designation does not imply absence of all contaminants, nor does it guarantee long-term
