Universal Citation: LA Admin Code VI-339
Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 9, September 20, 2024
A. The toxicity and other characteristics of fluids selected as PCB replacements shall be adequately determined so that the least potentially hazardous replacement is used. In making this determination with respect to a given fluid, consideration should be given to:
(a) its toxicity; (b) the maximum quantity
that could be spilled onto a given quantity of food before it would be noticed,
taking into account its color and odor; (c) possible signaling devices in the
equipment to indicate a loss of fluid, etc; and (d) its environmental stability
and tendency to survive and be concentrated through the food chain. The
judgment as to whether a replacement fluid is sufficiently nonhazardous is to
be made on an individual installation and operation basis.
1. [formerly paragraph 6:079] For the
purposes of this Section, the provisions do not apply to electrical
transformers and condensers containing PCB's in sealed
containers.
