       Perma-Fix Announces Third Quarter Results and Comments on Positive
                             Outlook for Fiscal 2005

    ATLANTA, Nov. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Perma-Fix Environmental
Services, Inc. (Nasdaq: PESI; BSE: PESI; Germany: PES.BE) today announced
financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2004.  Revenues for the
quarter were $24.3 million compared to $23.8 million for the same period in
2003.  Net loss applicable to common stock for the quarter was $17.6 million,
or $0.42 per share, compared to net income applicable to common stock of $4.0
million, or $0.12 per share, for the same period in 2003. Net loss applicable
to common stock for the third quarter of 2004 includes $19.3 million of non-
recurring charges and discontinued operations, of which approximately $15.0
million are non-cash charges.

    As previously disclosed, the Company discontinued operations at its
Detroit, Michigan, facility.  As a result, the Company incurred a non-
recurring charge of $9.8 million for the discontinued operations, which
represents a revision to its previously disclosed estimate of $11.3 million.
This reduction is a result of our change in estimate related to the non-cash
charge for impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets allocated to
discontinued operations.  This non-recurring charge could change when the
Company completes the actuarial study of its pension plan liability and
finalizes settlement of insurance claims due to fires at the facility.
Additionally, the Company recorded an estimated impairment charge of
approximately $7.1 million pursuant to its preliminary impairment test of the
remaining goodwill and other intangible assets of the Industrial Segment, in
connection with completion of its third quarter financial statements.  The
Company also recorded a $1.0 million non-recurring charge on the loss on
disposal or impairment of other fixed assets.  The Company will complete a
final impairment test during the fourth quarter of 2004, and the impairment
charge is subject to change, which the Company does not believe will be
material.  As previously reported, the Company also incurred a charge of $1.4
million for the pre-payment of the $5.6 million principal amount of the
Company's 13.5% senior subordinated notes.

    Results for the quarter reflect a 3.2% increase in revenue from the
Nuclear Segment and a 0.7% increase in revenue from the Industrial Segment.
The increase in the Nuclear Segment was principally attributable to our
continued expansion within the mixed waste market, as exemplified by revenue
generated from the commercial contract awarded by a Fortune 500 customer.  The
increase in the Industrial Segment was attributable to the two facilities
acquired in the first quarter of 2004, offset by the Army's Newport
Hydrolysate project completed in 2003.  The Industrial Segment experienced
minor disruptions due to the three successive hurricanes in the southeastern
U.S.

    For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, consolidated revenues were
$60.3 million compared to $60.4 million for the period ended September 30,
2003.  Net loss applicable to common stock for the nine months was $19.6
million, or $0.49 per share, compared with net income applicable to common
stock of $2.3 million, or $.07 per share for the same period in 2003.

    Dr. Louis F. Centofanti, Chairman and CEO, commented, "During the quarter,
we implemented a number of changes that we believe will have a favorable long-
term impact on the business.  We anticipate the closure of the Detroit
facility will improve the financial performance of the Industrial Segment, and
the prepayment of the senior subordinated notes will eliminate annual interest
expense of approximately $760,000.  Our Nuclear Segment remains strong, and
with the restructuring of the Industrial Segment complete, we are now
refocusing our efforts on driving top-line growth within both segments, as
demonstrated by our recent contracts for $6 million from a Fortune 500
customer, and $23 million at the Department of Energy's Hanford site.  We are
aggressively pursuing similar contracts."

    Dr. Centofanti concluded, "Looking ahead we anticipate the Industrial
Segment will experience sales growth and breakeven in 2005, as compared to
losses in 2002, 2003 and the first nine months of fiscal 2004.  Within our
Nuclear Segment, we anticipate continued revenue growth and improved
profitability in 2005.  As a result, we are quite encouraged by the outlook
for fiscal 2005, and our goal is to increase shareholder value."

    Perma-Fix Environmental Services, Inc. is a national environmental
services company, providing unique mixed waste and industrial waste management
services.  The Nuclear Segment provides radioactive and mixed waste treatment
services to hospitals, research laboratories and institutions, numerous
federal agencies including the Departments of Energy and Defense and nuclear

    This press release contains "forward-looking statements" which are based
largely on the Company's expectations and are subject to various business
risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond the Company's control.
Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the information
concerning changes that we have implemented will have a favorable long-term
impact, change in the one-time charge will not be material, closure of Detroit
will improve the financial performance of the Industrial Segment, the
Industrial Segment will experience sales growth and breakeven in 2005, our
goal to increase shareholder value, and that we anticipate continued revenue
growth and improved profitability within the Nuclear Segment. These forward-
looking statements are intended to qualify for the safe harbors from liability
established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. While the
Company believes the expectations reflected in this news release are
reasonable, it can give no assurance such expectations will prove to be
correct. There are a variety of factors which could cause future outcomes to
differ materially from those described in this release, including without
limitation, insurance settlements as to Detroit facility or actuarial study as
to pension plan liability relating to the Detroit facility affecting the
charge due to discontinuing the operations at the Detroit facility, future
economic conditions, industry conditions, competitive pressures, changes in
environmental laws, and neither the government nor any party delivering waste
as anticipated.  The Company makes no commitment to disclose any revisions to
forward-looking statements, or any facts, events or circumstances after the
date hereof that bear upon forward-looking statements.
