Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) sampling, Cavalier AFS, North Dakota. Final report
HQ AF SPACECOM/SGB requested USAFOEHL to determine if maintenance personnel, who conduct periodic maintenance inside transmitter cabinets located in room 301, Phased Array radar Building, Cavalier AFS ND were exposed to hazardous levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and its combustion products. This report explains how USAFOEHL determined ambient and surface levels of polychlorinated dibenzodioxins (PCDDs), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) and PCBs. Additionally, two PCB oil samples were analyzed to determine the level of PCDD and PCDF formation. The PCDDs and PCDFs of interest included 2,3,7,8-tetrachlordibenzodioxin (TCDD) and 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzofuran (TCDF) as well as the tetra-through-octa chlorinated congener classes of dioxins and furans.
