Abstract

There are eight “hot spots” polluted with PCB identified in the territory of Kazakhstan. The volume of the PCB-containing equipment is approximately estimated at 980 t, and the total volume of wastes is 250,000 t. A populated area Ablaketka suburb, a part of Ust-Kamenogorsk city polluted with PCB due to the former activities of the Ust-Kamenogorsk Capacitor Plant, was chosen as exemplary in order to assess the threat of the PCB pollution to the health of the population. The research does not exclude a possibility of PCB impact on the exposed population.
