North Carolina State University has sued Monsanto over PCB contamination in Poe Hall, a 1971-built campus building closed in 2023 after hazardous levels were found.
The lawsuit alleges Monsanto knowingly marketed PCB-laden materials despite internal knowledge of their toxicity, seeking hundreds of millions in cleanup costs, damages, and liability for future health claims.
The university is proceeding with EPA-compliant remediation, possibly requiring full demolition, while awaiting a health assessment from NIOSH.
Monsanto denies wrongdoing, stating it stopped producing PCBs decades ago and provided available safety warnings.
