Persistent organic pollutants such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) have found their way into the environment “possibly through indiscriminate disposal of old transformers and capacitors imported before the ban ” of PCBs or because they are released at ship - breaking yards, says the report.
Berbagai polutan organik yang pembusukannya lambat seperti polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) telah terserap ke dalam lingkungan hidup ” mungkin karena orang secara sembarangan membuang transformator dan kapasitor usang yang diimpor sebelum ada pelarangan ” PCB atau karena polutan itu dibuang di halaman tempat kapal dibongkar, kata laporan itu.
