Decontamination of building structures and equipment containing polychlorinated biphenyls is rapidly becoming a major concern to environmental managers in industry and government. The most costly stumbling block to this type of decontamination and the focus of more technical attention than any other aspect of building decontamination is the decontamination of concrete.
