False.
Nanotechnology has shown promise for PCB remediation — e.g., nanoscale zero‑valent iron (nZVI) (often with Pd) and nano‑adsorbents (carbon nanotubes, graphene oxide, metal oxides) can enhance reductive dechlorination or adsorption of PCBs in lab and pilot studies. Challenges remain (aggregation, transport, fate, cost, regulatory and ecotoxicity concerns), so it’s not yet a turnkey solution at scale, but it is not generally “proving ineffective.”
