Background
The project will also bring obvious indirect benefits. The removal of PCB sources (equipment, waste, contaminated soil) from the environment will prevent the contamination of the environment by these substances. This will translate in a reduced mortality and morbidity of the population in the long term, with specific reference to the pathologies associated to exposure to PCBs, resulting in the reduction of social and economic costs. In addition, the technical capacity developed by the project partners (project staff, consultants, stakeholders) in the management of PCB waste will allow for the creation of skills and capacities on the management of hazardous substances and waste in general that will result in the creation of specialized jobs in the country.
