TestAmerica has worked in conjunction
with state and federal agencies to provide ongoing method
development and analytical support services for the evaluation of
PCBs in water, sediment and biota matrices on behalf of a major
chemical company. Several hundred samples of varied matrices have
been characterized for PCB Aroclor and Homolog mixtures employing
GC-ECD and GC/MS-SIM methodology. TestAmerica staff worked in close
association with regulators and company representatives to develop
techniques to provide method comparison studies contrasting EPA
SW846 Method 8082 and a modified GC/MS Method 680 SIM technique for
PCB quantification. Several hundred fish fillet composites of
various fresh water species were evaluated employing both
techniques during a two-year lake study.
