Abstract
Sample analysis from a variety of matrices was performed using Gas Chr omatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). Average relative response facto rs were calculated for each polychlorinated biphenyl homologue (tri- t o deca-chlorobiphenyl) using in-house calibration standard solutions. Sample quantitation using RRFs provided homologue specific results. A series of software macros were used to automate the interpretation of spectral data and the selection of possible PCB congener peaks.
