The agency said its own examination of the data show that the percentage of unexpected PCBs was actually far lower than G.E. reported and rising PCB levels in nearby fish would be temporary.
He said the samples would be checked for the potentially hazardous chemical PCB, though he added, "The transformer records we keep show no PCBs in that vault".
It said that the dredging had released "nearly 25 times more PCBs" than expected, and that PCB levels had spiked in fish in the dredging zone.
An off-the-shelf printed circuit board (PCB), containing a microcontroller, a wireless receiver and a transmitter, is mounted on the insect's back.

About 5% of the population, mainly male, had very high PCB levels (0.01 mg/g of blood lipid, or one part in 100,000).
Such a machine is used to position electronic components (e.g., semiconductor chip modules) onto a printed circuit board (PCB).
