Determination of PCB's in Watervliet Arsenal Machine Oils by Gas Chromatography

Abstract

A routine method is described for screening samples of machine oils for possible polychioninated biphenyl contamination. The method uses gas chromatography with electron capture detection. This method has proven useful at the Watervliet Arsenal for routine laboratory PCB analysis of machine oils with about two percent precision by EPA standards.
