Gotta start somewhere.
Anybody remember asbestos?? Removal of that has created an entire
industry.

Thanks - I did indeed mean "before" 1979. This just seems to be the
same mentality that says if you have very intact paint on your walls but
some of the underlayers are lead-based, you must remove the lead-based
paint.

Pat,
I think you meant to say built "before" 1979. I was at one of those
public
meetings. And actually, this is their strategy to save money. And I
think
it is probably wrong headed.
Yes, the light balasts before this date usually did contain PCBs and
they
are getting airborne. But to just deal with this and not the fact that
about
30% of latex paints before this contained them, most of the old caulks
did,
many plastics and more, my concern is they are going to remove the
balasts,
declare the problem over, and leave some schools still with high PCB
levels
from other sources.
