Re: PCB's in Cables?.

I would imagine that one's greatest PCB-related danger would be from fire
debris and from heat exchange fluids actually leaking from electrical
equipment.  Some dangers would also come from PVC cable insulation fire
debris.

Happily, although I am a civil engineer, I have no personal direct experience
with the odor of PCBs.  PCBs are somewhat volatile so some dangers may exist
in airborne exposures.  

I would probably be more concerned about the potential lack of oxygen and the
abundance of sulfide gases in confined spaces than from airborne PCBs.
