Health Hazard ?

Its Polychlorinated Biphenyls , if you are going to troll at least spell correctly.

Merry Christmas, Tom

They aren't the same thing at all.

The 2 things simply share the same acronym.

Polychlorinatedbiphenyls have a bad reputation, for all I know it's justified.

I don't think printed circuit boards contain polychlorinatedbiphenyls, even the "phenolic" type of printed curcuitboard.

the do howerver contain PBDE

Poly Bbrominated Diphenyl Ethers or something like that

Burning any organic substance (even tobacco) releases dangerous toxins, so if you do that avoid the smoke or preferable use a high temperature furnace that can consume the combustion products fully.

Bye. Jasen

So-called 'phenolic' boards are a misnomer. It's how they *were* once made.

A more modern acronym for them is SRBP - meaning 'synthetic resin bonded paper'. ( synthetic resin = epoxy glue ).

Graham

The *do* stink when burnt though. I don't think it's especially harmful.

Oh, no worries there - I'm meticulous in consuming all of my combustion products! %-}

Cheers! Rich

Those are two different things that have the same acronym. They are not the same.

What things? A post like this with no context makes no sense.

Thanks, Rich
