PCB transformer oil hazards include potential health risks such as skin and eye irritation upon contact, harmful effects from inhalation of vapors, and long-term exposure leading to serious health issues like cancer. Environmentally, PCBs are persistent pollutants that can contaminate soil and water, posing risks to wildlife and ecosystems. The regulations surrounding the handling and disposal of PCB-containing oils are strict due to these hazards, emphasizing the importance of proper management and mitigation strategies to minimize exposure and environmental impact. Always ensure safe practices when dealing with PCB transformer oil to protect both human health and the environment.
