Step-by-step explanation:

Tina should refer to the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) and should make people aware of the harmful effects of the polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB).

Polychlorinated biphenyls are man made chemicals, which are oily liquids or solids. They are clear to yellow in color and have no smell or taste. They are highly toxic industrial compounds.The most common effect of its exposure are skin conditions such as rashes and acne. Its exposure can also lead to different types of cancer for example liver cancer, gall bladder cancer, biliary tract cancer, brain cancer etc.
