The firm is only one of 14 pipeline companies the EPA has been investigating for PCB leakage. Less severe problems may exist at hundreds of other enterprises, from electric utilities to railroads. Industrial users have scattered an estimated 1.2 billion lbs. of PCBs throughout the world. As a result, most people...
