Abstract

A gel permeation (GPC) clean-up procedure of fish samples in combination with capillary gas chromatography is used for the determination of individual chlorobiphenyls. The described method is compared with a more universal method based on saponification. Starting from a tolerance for PCBs expressed as a technical Aroclor, tolerance for some specified individual chlorobiphenyls are derived. It is shown that these tolerances for specified individual chlorobiphenyls can be used for monitoring and tolerance purposes. Rejections obtained with the Dutch PCB tolerance agree with rejections obtained with individual tolerances.
