Abstract
Described are methods to measure the polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) emissions from the stacks of municipal waste, industrial waste, and sewage sludge incinerators and from capacitor and transformer filling plants. The PCB emissions from the incineration plants are collected by impingement in water and adsorption on Florisil. The samples are extracted with hexane, concentrated through evaporation of the solvent, perchlorinated, and the polychlorinated biphenyl content measured as the decachlorinated isomer using a gas chromatograph equipped with a flame ionization detector. The PCB emissions from the capacitor and transformer filling plants are collected directly on Florisil, extracted with hexane and quantified against the appropriate Aroclor using a gas chromatograph. The methods were developed from laboratory studies and field tested at nine incineration plants and two transformer filling plants.
