Results from the second testing: • 159 samples were taken, each sample had some level

of PCBs. • Out of the 159 samples 89 indicated PCB levels above

the .22 (which is purportedly to be safe around humans)

• Out of the 89 samples – 33 indicated levels between

1.0 – 131 (extreme high levels of PCBs)
