Remember saccharin? Cancer in a pink package? Turns out they were wrong. If you do some research on PCB's you will discover they are as wrong about PCB's as they are about saccharin. A report done a few years ago, available online, shows the actual chance of getting cancer from PCB's is on par with those in the olive oil industry sticking their hands and arms into vats of that oil. A discussion on our net a while back brought back memories of the 1970's where power line electricians pulled the lid off pole pigs to change internal taps, putting their whole arms in there to reach them. I was friends with several over the years, being acquainted by seeing them on a regular basis due to all the ground mounted transformer vaults we had. They retired and lived long lives afterward.
