PCBs and Gas Chromatography Question.

[Llanfair]

<br>
Hello all, <br>
<br>
I am doing a paper on using Gas Chromatography for the analysis of PCBs in a sample on pond sediment. What sort of column to use, which detector is best and why, etc? <br>
<br>
I've been searching for info and I thought I'd try the forum community as well.<br>
<br>
Does anyone have any good ideas on where to find information, or has anyone any experience with this sort of analysis?<br>
<br>
Any info would be greatly appreciated.<br>
<br>
Many thanks,<br>

Dear LIanfair,

The (EPA-600/4-81-045 Sept 1982) publication on

Test Method &quot; The determination of Polychlorinated Biphenyls in Transformer Fluid and Waste Oils &quot;

Gives details of GC method and columns.

Of course you can contact them for further details.

I will be glad to fax you my copy of the paper.

Regards

Whylie
