Yes, toxic transformer oil can pose health and environmental risks due to its chemical composition. Transformer oils often contain harmful substances, such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), which are known to be toxic and carcinogenic. It’s crucial to handle toxic transformer oil with care, following proper safety protocols, to minimize exposure and environmental contamination. Regular monitoring, proper disposal, and cleaning of contaminated transformer oils are essential to ensure safety and compliance with regulations.
