Potential Exposure to PCBs in St. Louis Schools

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were present in the capacitors of old fluorescent lighting fixtures that may have been placed in St. Louis area school buildings.

In older school buildings, the presence of materials containing PCBs, such as fluorescent light ballasts, caulks, and other building materials, leads to an increased potential for PCB exposure.

Research conducted by the University of Iowa in Vermont schools revealed that these materials and products, as they age and deteriorate, can emit PCBs into the school environment.

There is a critical need for advanced testing methods in schools and medical monitoring of individuals who may have been exposed to PCBs.

Students and faculty may have sat beneath old fluorescent lighting fixtures for decades, not knowing that they were being exposed to PCBs for several hours a day over the course of decades.

Scientific research has indicated an increased risk for several health problems and cancers in people exposed to PCBs for extended periods of time.

If you or a loved one were exposed to PCBs in St. Louis area schools, and subsequently developed health problems or symptoms of exposure, you may be eligible to file a PCB Lawsuit claim.

Why Were PCBs Used in Fluorescent Lights?

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were used in fluorescent lights primarily because of their electrical insulating properties and thermal stability.

PCBs were commonly used in devices and products where flammability was a concern.

Chemical stability and high resistance to heat made PCBs ideal for use in electrical transformers, capacitors, and other equipment.

These characteristics made PCBs well-suited for enhancing the performance and safety of fluorescent light ballasts.

Here’s why PCBs were used in fluorescent lights:

1. Electrical Insulation: PCBs are known electrical insulators, which means they can prevent electrical currents from leaking or short-circuiting. In fluorescent lighting, where the regulation of electrical currents is essential for operation, PCBs helped ensure a stable flow of electricity within the ballast.
2. Thermal Stability: Fluorescent lights can generate heat during operation. PCBs have high thermal stability, allowing them to withstand elevated temperatures.
3. Chemical Inertia: PCBs are chemically inert, meaning they do not readily react with other substances. This characteristic made them suitable for use in various industrial applications, including fluorescent light ballasts, where chemical stability was important.

How Does PCB Exposure from Fluorescent Lighting Occur?

Exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) from fluorescent lights over long periods can occur through different pathways.

While the use of PCBs in new fluorescent lights has been banned for decades, older buildings (like many schools in the St. Louis area) may have used fluorescent lighting fixtures that contained PCBs for years after their regulation.

Here’s how people can be exposed to PCBs in such environments:

1. Airborne Exposure
2. Dust Accumulation
3. Direct Contact with Light Fixtures

1. Airborne Exposure:

PCBs may vaporize or release into the air from the ballasts inside fluorescent light fixtures, especially when these fixtures heat up during operation.

Over time, this continuous emission may lead to the presence of PCBs in the indoor air of buildings with older lighting systems.

People who spend long hours in these spaces, such as students and employees in schools or offices, may inhale these airborne PCB particles, contributing to exposure and putting them at risk of health problems. 

2. Dust Accumulation:

As PCBs are emitted into the air, they might settle on surfaces within the building.

Over time, this process can result in the accumulation of PCB-laden dust on floors, shelves, and other indoor surfaces.

Individuals who come into contact with these contaminated surfaces, particularly through hand-to-mouth contact or touching the face, can unknowingly ingest or inhale PCBs, contributing to exposure.

3. Direct Contact with Light Fixtures:

In some cases, individuals working with or near older fluorescent light fixtures may come into direct contact with the fixtures themselves.

Accidental damage to the ballasts or leaks from the fixtures can release PCBs onto the skin.

Direct skin contact can be another pathway for exposure.

PCBs and The St. Louis Metro Area: Monsanto, Environmental Contamination, and Legal Action

PCB contamination and PCB exposure are topics of increasing concern in the St. Louis area and Metro East.

Monsanto and its spin-off companies, such as Solutia, Inc., were the primary manufacturers and producers of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) from the 1930s until the 1970s

The Monsanto plant in Sauget, a mere seven minutes from downtown St. Louis, was the nation’s leading producer of PCBs, chemicals that were essential to the industrial economy yet hidden from public scrutiny.

Despite early health concerns raised at the Harvard School of Public Health in 1937, it took decades before the true extent of PCBs’ hazardous nature prompted legal action and their eventual ban in the United States.

The legal pursuit of Monsanto and related entities like Pharmacia and Solutia for financial responsibility in cleanup efforts reveals the intricate web of corporate accountability and environmental justice in the St. Louis area.

Legal Action for PCB Exposure in the St. Louis Area

Several legal actions have been taken against Monsanto and its affiliates Solutia and Pharmacia for PCB exposures and contamination.

In 2016, Monsanto was ordered to pay $46.5 million to three plaintiffs by a St. Louis jury in a PCB Lawsuit.

Years earlier, in 2009, dozens of individuals filed PCB exposure lawsuits against Cerro Flow Products, Inc., Pharmacia Corporation, Solutia, Inc., Pfizer and Monsanto AG Products.

Plaintiffs claimed they developed cancer and other life-threatening diseases as a result of their exposure to the PCBs.

Years later, in 2021, St. Clair County jurors awarded 12 Sauget plaintiffs $72 million in a verdict against Cerro Flow.

PCB Production, Contamination, and Exposure in the Metro East

PCB mixtures were produced by Monsanto at its Sauget, Illinois facility.

In the Sauget area, the contamination from Monsanto’s operations reached alarming levels, with PCB concentrations measured at millions of times above what is considered safe for human contact.

Sauget was incorporated literally as “Monsanto, Illinois”, and the Monsanto plant in Sauget produced hundreds of thousands of tons of PCBs used in the United States from the 1930s until they were banned in the 1970s.

The Monsanto plant deposited PCB waste in Sauget’s toxic dumps from the 1940s to the 1980s, and also incinerated PCBs on-site after 1977.

The Solutia Inc. facility, previously operated by Monsanto, stands as a testament to nearly a century of chemical manufacturing, leaving behind a legacy of soil and groundwater contamination.

Interventions by the EPA, including a $22 million remediation plan, highlight the ongoing struggle to mitigate the environmental damage inflicted by PCBs and other hazardous substances in the area.

EPA Superfund Sites in St. Louis and the Metro East

A Superfund site is a designation given to contaminated areas in the United States that are heavily polluted with hazardous substances and are considered a priority for environmental cleanup and remediation.

Several Superfund sites are located in the St. Louis and Metro East areas, including:

• Sauget, IL – Sauget Area 1: The Sauget Area 1 Superfund site, situated in Sauget and Cahokia villages in St. Clair County, Illinois, encompasses a complex of contaminated locations including three closed waste disposal areas, a construction debris area, and a segment of the infamous Dead Creek. Sauget Area 1’s contamination extends to air, surface water, and sediments, with elevated levels of dioxins, 1,1-dichloroethene, and methylene chloride detected in the air, and significant PCB contamination in the creek sediments.
• Sauget, IL – Sauget Area 2: The Sauget Area 2 Superfund site, located in Sauget, Illinois, spans across a 312-acre area, encompassing four landfills (Sites Q, R, S, and P) and four backfilled lagoons (Site O). This site has a history of industrial waste treatment and disposal activities that led to the contamination of soil and groundwater with hazardous substances including polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), pesticides, and metals. Despite partial cleanups, the site still poses environmental risks, necessitating ongoing long-term remediation efforts.
• Granite City, IL – Jennison-Wright Corporation: The Jennison-Wright Corporation site in Granite City, Illinois, covering about 20 acres, has a complex history of industrial operations dating back to before 1920, which continued until 1989. This site was primarily used for treating wood products like railroad ties and wood block flooring with chemicals such as pentachlorophenol (PCP), creosote, and zinc naphthenate. Waste piles, spills, and improper storage at the site resulted in significant soil and groundwater contamination, prompting the need for extensive cleanup efforts. In 1996, the site was added to the National Priorities List (NPL) or “Superfund” list, as no financially viable responsible parties were identified to fund the cleanup, making it reliant on Federal Superfund resources.
• Fairmont City, IL – Old American Zinc Plant/NL Industries/Taracorp Lead Smelter: The Old American Zinc Plant, also known as the NL Industries/Taracorp Lead Smelter site, is located in Fairmont, Illinois, near Granite City. This 132-acre former zinc smelting facility operated primarily from 1913 to 1953, with limited activities continuing until 1967. During its operational years, the plant generated slag as a byproduct, which was later used as fill material in the surrounding area. The site has been a focus of environmental concern due to significant contamination, primarily with lead, arsenic, cadmium, and zinc in soil samples, as well as inorganic and pesticide contamination in waste and sediment samples.
• East St. Louis, IL – Alcoa Properties: The 20-acre site has seen various industrial operations since the early 1900s, including aluminum smelting by the Aluminum Company of America, which operated from 1903 until 1957. The site’s contamination primarily involves hazardous substances like radium-226, radium-228, aluminum, arsenic, and lead in the soil, with ongoing investigations to determine the extent of groundwater contamination.
• St. Louis, MO – Thompson Chemicals: The Thompson Chemicals Superfund Site, located just two kilometers south of the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, has a significant history of industrial pollution and subsequent environmental cleanup efforts. The site was originally operated by Thompson Chemicals (TC) from 1949 to 1970, who notably produced Agent Orange for the Air Force. A fire at the plant resulted in nine workers developing chloracne, leading to the inclusion of all TC workers from 1949-1970 on the Dioxin Registry by the CDC in 1991. Thompson Chemicals filed for bankruptcy in 1970.

East St. Louis and State of Illinois File Separate Lawsuits Against Monsanto For PCB Contamination

Both the City of East St. Louis and the Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul have filed lawsuits against Monsanto and its affiliates, Solutia Inc. and Pharmacia LLC, for the ongoing environmental and health effects of PCB contamination caused by Monsanto’s decades-long production of the toxic chemicals.

The Illinois Attorney General filed the lawsuit in August 2022.

East St. Louis filed in 2021, but the case was moved to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Illinois in 2023 and is currently set for a jury trial in 2024.

The lawsuit filed by the State of Illinois alleges that Monsanto was aware of the toxicity of these chemicals but publicly denied any knowledge of their dangers, aiming to hold the companies accountable for their actions, seeking compensation for damages to natural resources and addressing statewide contamination through a public health monitoring program for PCB-related health conditions.

East St. Louis claims that the Monsanto plant violated municipal littering and nuisance ordinances, with fines of up to $750 per day, and alleges the concealing PCB dangers despite early knowledge.

What are Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs)?

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are a group of synthetic organic chemicals that were widely used in various industrial and commercial applications in the past.

Monsanto was the leading producer of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).

PCBs were first synthesized in the late 1920s and were produced in large quantities for several decades.

The company that first produced PCBs was purchased by Monsanto in 1935, and Monsanto then sold and introduced PCBs in several industries.

PCBs consist of a group of chemical compounds made up of biphenyl rings to which chlorine atoms are attached.

The specific arrangement and number of chlorine atoms on the biphenyl rings can vary, resulting in different PCB congeners.

According to the EPA, PCB congeners are any single, unique well-defined chemical compound in the PCB category.

Due to their toxic effects on human health and the environment, the production and use of PCBs have been largely banned in many countries.

Why Were PCBs Widely Used?

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were widely used for several decades primarily because of their valuable electrical and industrial properties, but it became apparent over time that they posed significant health and environmental risks.

PCBs were known as versatile chemicals with a range of industrial applications, being used for dielectric fluid to prevent sparking in electric transformers, as well as hydraulic oils in heavy machinery.

What Products May Contain Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs)?

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) can be found in various locations and environments, with their prevalence often tied to historical use.

While PCBs have been banned or heavily restricted in many countries for several decades due to their harmful effects on health and the environment, they can still persist in older areas and materials.

PCBs can be found in:

• Older Buildings: PCBs were frequently used in construction materials like caulking and sealants, and in older fluorescent lighting fixtures in the mid-20th century. As a result, older buildings constructed before PCB regulations may still have these materials and products in place, potentially leading to indoor air contamination.
• Electrical Equipment: Although the use of PCBs in electrical transformers and capacitors has been phased out, older equipment may still contain PCBs. In some cases, improper disposal of these items has led to soil and water contamination.
• Industrial Facilities: Industries that used PCBs in their processes may have residual contamination in the soil and surrounding areas. Even if PCBs are no longer used, the legacy of past practices can pose ongoing exposure risks.
• Consumer Products: Though PCB use has decreased significantly, older consumer products like carbonless copy paper, some paints, and plastic materials may still contain trace amounts of PCBs. These products can be found in older homes or storage.

How Does Exposure to PCBs Happen?

People may be exposed to PCBs in several ways as these toxic substances have been used in several industries and products over the years.

Since being banned for use, exposure to PCBs is less common but typically occurs through inhalation of indoor air containing PCBs or through otherwise contaminated areas.

People may become exposed to PBCs through:

• Inhalation: Inhalation of PCB-contaminated air is a significant exposure pathway. This can occur in environments where PCBs are present, such as near old electrical equipment or in buildings with PCB-containing materials. Airborne PCB particles can be inhaled, leading to exposure.
• Ingestion: Eating contaminated food is a possible exposure route. PCBs can accumulate in the fatty tissues of fish, meat, and dairy products. People who eat contaminated foods or drink contaminated water may ingest PCBs.
• Skin Contact: PCBs can be absorbed through the skin, although this is generally considered a less significant exposure pathway compared to inhalation and ingestion. Direct contact with PCB-contaminated materials, such as soil or certain building materials, can lead to dermal exposure.
• Indoor Air: PCBs can be released into indoor air from PCB-containing materials, such as old caulking, sealants, or electrical equipment. Occupants of buildings with PCB-containing materials may be exposed to PCBs through indoor air inhalation.
• Breast Milk: Infants can be exposed to PCBs through breastfeeding if the mother’s body has accumulated PCBs from prior exposures. PCBs can be transferred to the infant through breast milk.

Exposure to PCBs: Possible Health Effects and Risks

Scientific research and animal studies have shown an increased risk for certain health problems subsequent to prolonged exposure to PCBs.

Potential cancers related to PCB exposure include, but are not limited to:

• Liver cancer
• Stomach cancer
• Intestinal cancer
• Thyroid cancer
• Malignant melanoma
• Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma

Other non-cancer potential health effects of PCB exposure include, but are not limited to:

• Reproductive issues: low birth weight, miscarriage, premature birth, or developmental delays
• Neurological disorders and effects: memory loss, confusion, brain fog, or learning disorders
• Skin conditions: chloracne and related dermal lesions, hyperpigmentation, skin sloughing, or frequent rashes
• Endocrine disorders
• Puberty abnormalities
• Other symptoms and health effects

Research on Health Effects of Exposure to PCBs

When Did the Dangers of PCB Exposure Become Apparent?

The history of scientific research on the health effects of PCB exposure date back to near the time the chemicals were introduced to the industrial and commercial manufacturing world.

PCBs have been known to cause liver damage and other health problems in animals exposed since studies were conducted and published in the 1930s and 1940s.

In the 1950s, human health effects were examined in exposed workers at a plant in Indiana and also in painters exposed to PCBs in plasticized paints.

It wasn’t until the 1960s that PCBs were identified not only as a danger to industrial workers, but as a public health concern.

From the 1960s to 1970s, more research was dedicated to PCB environmental contamination and adverse effects on human health.

The federal government created an Interdepartmental Task Force on PCBs in 1971, issuing a 1972 report titled “Polychlorinated Biphenyls and the Environment“.

The report stated that:

“1) PCBs should be restricted to essential or non-replaceable uses which involve minimal direct human exposure since they can have adverse effects on human health.

2) PCBs have been used so widely over such a long period that they are ubiquitous.”

Congress passed the Toxic Substances Control Act in 1976, which banned the manufacture and distribution of PCBs in 1979.

Monsanto Knew of PCB Dangers

Multiple sources have reported that Monsanto knew about the dangers of PCBs for years yet continued to manufacture and sell them.

The Poison Papers Project, launched by the Bioscience Resource Project and the Center for Media and Democracy, produced more than 20,000 internal memos, meetings, letters, and other documents that showcase the fact that Monsanto knew PCBs were harmful to human health and the environment, but concealed that knowledge to profit.

Who is the PCB Lawsuit Filed Against?

Our lawyers are currently investigating litigation against companies who produced PCB containing products and commercial PCB mixtures used in school buildings.

Those who have produced or manufactured electrical equipments, fluorescent lights, and other PCB materials placed in school buildings could be potentially liable for health problems suffered by exposed workers and students.

Monsanto is the primary company that manufactured and distributed polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the United States.

Monsanto halted production of PCBs in 1977.

Monsanto was acquired by Bayer for $63 billion in 2018.

Previous and Similar Litigation for PCB Exposure and PCB Contamination

Monsanto has previously faced litigation over harm caused by PCBs.

The list of active and past litigations for PCB exposure and contamination is extensive, spanning the United States court system.

Some PCB exposure and contamination litigation has been successful, awarding compensation to school districts, municipalities, governmental organizations, and individuals.

Other attempts at PCB Lawsuits have been unsuccessful and dismissed.
