U.S. Government Ends The Sinking Of Old Ships as Artificial Reefs

U.S. Government Ends The Sinking Of Old Ships as Artificial Reefs: " MARAD's new policy excludes from artificial reefing consideration of any vessel that was built before 1985 (and likely to contain PCBs). PCBs are a persistent toxic chemical family that is described by the U.S. EPA as potentially carcinogenic to humans and builds-up in the marine food chain. They are banned from use and production under the U.S. Toxic Substances Control Act."
