PCB (Polychlorinated Biphenyl) Field Test Kit. Volume 1. Field Testing.

Abstract

This technical report has been prepared in two volumes for two specific audiences. Volume I Field Testing, is intended for persons with no formal laboratory background such as exterior electricians who could perform sampling and testing procedures on transformers, oil circuit breakers etc., as part of their maintenance duties, and civil engineering personnel who must clean up spill sites. Consequently, Volume I is concerned with how the test is run and how a site is surveyed vs. how the test works and gives cleanup hints and suggested procedures for testing and finding PCB contamination with little emphasis on method development. Only those data necessary to confirm the kit performance are given. Originator-supplied keywords: PCB, Polychlorinated biphenyls, Transformers, Spill cleanup, Hazardous waste cleanup, Field testing.
