Mandatory Testing for PCBs in Schools
PCB's in Blood
If you decide to have blood tested, remember the following:
-
PCB blood analysis is expensive and should only be performed by labs that have experience testing for PCBs.
-
Blood analysis should test for full range of congeners.
-
It is not recommended to have blood tested labs such as Metpath or Quest since they do not test the full
range of PCB congeners.
