Abstract
An inhibition enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to determi ne polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in house dust and soil. Soil and house dust samples were analyzed for PCB by both gas chromatography/electron capt ure detection (GC/ECD) and ELISA methods. A correlation coefficient of 0.91 was obtained for the 41 soil samples. The correlation between the GC/ECD a nd the ELISA methods for the 10 house dust samples was not as good as that for the soil samples. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
