Erickson, M D

Present PCB analysis methods evolved from the old pesticide analysis methods using GC/ECD. These classic'' methods are still being improved upon and are heavily used. Newer methods using congener-specific high resolution GC/ECD and GC/MS have improved the specificity and information content of the analyses. Acceptable accuracy and precision with both classic and newer methods continue to be challenges to analysis. 19 refs., 1 fig.
