Abstract

This dataset describes airborne polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) and PCB surface emission congener masses from school rooms in southeast Vermont. These experiments were designed to identify major sources of PCBs emitted from surfaces in schoolrooms. The data resulting from this study can inform future PCB analysis and remediation decisions in schools.
