The accumulation of xenobiotic compounds in our environment has had a profound effect on our physical, social, economic, and political well-being. Some of these substances have been found to be harmful to humans, while others, including polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), have only been implicated as such. In either case, there has been a growing demand for their safe disposal or, preferably, destruction.
