| Contents Notes |
This technical report has been prepared in two volumes for two specific audiences. Volume I, Field Testing, is intended for persons with no formal laboratory background such as exterior electricians who could perform sampling and testing procedures on transformers, oil circuit breakers, etc., as part of their maintenance duties, and civil engineering personnel who must clean up spill sites. Conversely, Volume II, Method Development/Testing, is intended for use by policy makers who must determine whether or not the kit is appropriate for their organization. As a result, Volume II emphasizes the development of the extraction method, the verification testing for the oil kit, and the data collected during soils testing. The information given is meant to serve as a basis for policy decisions with field procedures, spill analysis, and actual cleanup techniques of minor importance. Originator-supplied keywords: PCB, Polychlorinated biphenyls, Transformers, Spill cleanup, Hazardous waste cleanup, Field testing. |
