LISTING OF TOTAL CONTAINMENT'S STOCK TO BE TRANSFERRED FROM
NASDAQ NATIONAL MARKET TO NASDAQ SMALLCAP MARKET

     Oaks, PA...Total Containment, Inc. (Total Containment)
(NASDAQ/NMS: TCIX) announced today that the listing of its
common stock, par value $.01 per share, will be transferred from
the Nasdaq National Market to the Nasdaq SmallCap Market
effective with the open of business on March 31, 2000 because
the market value of Total Containment's publicly held common
stock (i.e, the public float) is less than the $5 million
minimum required to maintain listing on the Nasdaq National
Market. Total containment's inability to meet the Nasdaq
National Market's public float requirement is due to the large
concentration of shares owned by its majority shareholder and
management, as well as its recent stock price. Of the 4,672,600
shares of Total Containment common stock outstanding, 2,766,700
shares, or 59.2%, are directly or indirectly owned in the
aggregate by the majority shareholder and other directors and
officers.
