V. Radulescu et al., Capillary gas chromatographic determination of PCBS in soil and water in the presence of HCH and DDT residues, REV RO CHIM, 44(5), 1999, pp. 445-448
Three different procedures for the extraction of PCBs, IUPAC Nos: 28, 52, 1
01, 138, 153, 180, were investigated: Soxhlet, ultrasonic and reflux solven
t extraction. The quantitation was made by using an OV1 fused silica capill
ary column and ECD detection and confirmation with the aid of mass spectrom
etric detection (full scan and SIM modes) after separation bf compounds on
a DB-5 column. Experimental conditions are shown in which a good separation
of the 6 PCBs considered and organochlorines present in soil is obtained.
