When deciding on sequencing the equipment for decontamination and disposal the following criteria
were taken into account: condition of the equipment and its age (the elder the equipment, the higher
the likelihood to its breakdown and release of PCBs into the environment), and location of the
equipment.
As results from the Table above, the largest quantities of the equipment containing PCBs anticipated
for disposal fall in 2009-2010 and amount to about 36 thousand pieces. Given the likelihood that
difficulties could appear in disposal of so large number of equipment it would be advisable to structure
this process into phases, i.e. to dispose about 9 thousand pieces of equipment on annual basis in period
of 2007-2010.
