PCB
Green component board
PCB is an acronym with two common meanings.
A printed circuit board is the flat board with conductive pathways that holds and connects electronic components—found in everything from phones to cars.
PCB also stands for polychlorinated biphenyl, a toxic industrial chemical banned in many countries due to environmental persistence and health risks: The site was contaminated with PCBs.
Context usually makes the meaning clear.
