Dr. Andres Martinez from the University of Iowa Superfund Research Program and Dr. Wendy Heiger-Bernays of the Boston University Superfund Research Program co-presented a session on airborne PCBS at New Bedford Harbor at the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry meeting in Orlando in November 2016.

Their poster entitled "Continuous release of PCBs from New Bedford Harbor results in elevated concentrations in the surrounding air" documents the result of recent air monitoring and shows that this legacy contamination is still of concern for neighboring communities. New Bedford Harbor is a major source of airborne PCBs.
