Journal of Japan Association on Odor Environment, 2005 八王子市の小学校で起こったPCB含有蛍光灯安定器の破裂事故を契機にPCBの「におい」を認識した．実際に30年程度使用されてきた蛍光灯安定器から，PCBのにおいを感じた．そこで，劣化したPCB含有安定器からPCBが揮発する可能性を明らかにするため，PCB含有安定器を使用している室内と使用していない室内に含まれるPCBを測定し，比較するとともに，PCB含有安定器をチャンバーに入れて通気し，PCB揮発の有無を確かめた．その結果，PCB含有安定器を使用していない室内の空気ではPCBは検出されなかったのに対し，PCB含有安定器を使用している室内では26～110ng/m3のPCBが検出された．これより，PCB含有安定器からのPCBの漏洩の可能性が確認された．一方，チャンバー実験からは ...
