The House Education Committee has green-lighted a measure that would pause PCB testing and roll the program into a broader, evolving school construction initiative.

Health and environmental experts say chemicals known as PCBs represent an emerging front in the ongoing battle for detoxifying the nation’s infrastructure, including its aging schools.

Could a series of lawsuits against the PCB manufacturer Monsanto in Washington state help plaintiffs in Vermont win similar cases? PCB experts say they think the answer is yes.

Keri Hornbuckle spoke at the Climate/Atmospheric Science & Engineering (CASE) Colloquium series. The topic was “The impact of coordinated sampling, analytical, and data management methods with identification and remediation of legacy and modern sources of airborne PCBs.”

Keri Hornbuckle, PhD, shared her group's research into polychlorinated biphenyls during Keystone Science Lecture.

The Vermont Department of Health has quietly updated the way it assesses airborne levels of cancer-causing chemicals, a decision that comes ahead of a statewide testing program for hundreds of schools across the state.

Around 250,000 Americans face air pollution levels higher than the federal government considers acceptable.

Identification of previously undetected sources of polychlorinated biphenyls, often called PCBs, leads to protections for communities.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency has responded to a new report released this week that sounds the alarm about PCB air pollution around New Bedford Harbor.

A new study shows that airborne PCBs from New Bedford Harbor may pose a health hazard for nearby residents in Acushnet, Dartmouth, Fairhaven, and New Bedford.
