Many old industrial sites have chemicals that are in the ground that off gas to the surface such as; PCE,TCE,PCBs,PATROLEUM,PFOS,PFOA & PFAS. Many of these are FOREVER CHEMICALS which is not good at all. I wasnt aware of this untill i picked up the paper one day. In schools,large apartment buildings, government buildings,hospitals,office buildings, dorms & commercial buildings ect built between 1950-1978 theres a chance they use CAULKING around windows,doorways,expansion joints & the interior that can contain VERY HIGH levels of POLYCHLORINATED BIPHENYLS A.K.A. PCBs. They are having many problems with health issues in the public schools because of this caulking off gassing . They also used this potent CARCINOGEN/ENDORCRINE DISRUPTOR in ADHESIVES, FIBERGLASS PIPE INSULATION & BATTING,STYROFOAM INSULATION,CORK, ACOUSTIC TILES,ROOFING,ect. Google BURLINGTON VT HIGH SCHOOL PCB and you will find they are going to have to build a new high school because the old one has EXTENSIVE PCB CONTAMINATION.Also Google PCB containing building materials. They are saying PCBs are the new asbestos. Ive seen exploits of hospitals ect that are still sealed {no broken windows}. It might be a good idea to get a respirator thats good for PCBS and the other above mentioned chemicals. I thought PCBs were in capacitors,light ballasts trasnsformers & old hydraulic systems and were pretty much a thing of the past in new situations, boy was i wrong. I hope this helps this site.

I will add to this, be stupid careful around any plant that does paper professing. There are chemicals in that place that will eat you up very quickly. That stuff drips all over the place, and the fumes can get you if you are in confined areas. Also old refineries and confined places can still have N2S which you can't smell and will drop you dead.

Ugghhh, I remember pipelining and having them teach us “You see your buddy go down, you run the other way. Don’t even try to save them”. Fuck that stuff.

Would this filter protect against PCB? https://www.amazon...itle?ie=UTF8&psc=1
