    High Resolution PCB Analysis of Kanechlor, Phenoclor and Sovol Mixtures Using Multidimensional Gas Chromatography (1992)

    Description: Kanechlor-300, -400, -500 and -600, Phenoclor DP-3, -4, -5 and -6 and Sovol mixtures were analyzed for their chlorobiphenyl (CB) composition using high-resolution one-dimensional and multidimensional gas chromatography-electron capture detection (MDGC-ECD) techniques. The congener patterns of tested Kanechlor and Phenoclor mixtures resembled Aroclor 1016, 1242, 1254 and 1260. However, differences in the percentage contribution of minor constituents were noticed among these mixtures, which could be due to variations in the boiling-point fractionation of these commercial products. CB pattern of Sovol was different from the rest of the mixtures tested. It showed a composition in between ca. 30%, 40%, 50% and 60% overall chlorine levels. MDGC-ECD study showed the presence of hitherto unnoticed non-CB compounds coeluting with CBs in some commercial PCBs. The use of these mixtures as quantitation standards should be considered with caution. CB patterns of Sovol and a water extract of the Gulf of Finland matched closely, indicating a point source contamination to these waters.

    Bilanzierung und Quantifizierung des Chlorbiphenyl-Eintrages in das Oderhaff (1997)

    Description: Under the EC sponsored research project ODER (Oder Discharge-Environmental Response) first investigations have been carried out to estimate the chlorinated biphenyls (CB) input into Oderhaff via the Oder river. For this purpose, vertical profiles of CB content and composition were analysed on samples of three sediment cores. In two water samples, the content of suspended particulate material as weil as the particulate CB content and congener-specific composition were measured. In the Oderhaff the CB concentrations of particulate material were between 700 to 800 pg/dm3. Significant differences in the composition of the components were not observed. In sediments, CB contents were as high as 17 to 24 ngig dry weight in near surface sediment layers. They decreased with increasing sediment depth and were below detection limits at 15 to 21 cm depth. Based on the size of the 49 accumulation area and related hydrographic conditions, we estimated an input of 95 kg into the Oderhaff for the last 65 years since the onset of CB production. Applying the present prevailing conditions, we calculated an average transport of about 825 kg CB by the Oder river during this period. Comparing these two estimates, we observed that at least 15 % of the CB transported by the Oder river was deposited in the Oderhaff. The remaining 85 % (-730 kg), have been further transported into the South Pomeranian Bight and Southern Baltic Sea.

    Toxic chlorobiphenyls in adipose tissue and whole blood of an occupationally/acidentally exposed man and the general population (1994)
    Taylor & Francis
    In:  Archives of Environmental Health, 49 . pp. 375-383.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2018-08-17
    Description: Individual polychlorinated biphenyl (CB) congeners in adipose and whole blood tissues of a capacitor manufacture worker (occupational/accidental exposure) and of the general population were determined. Nondestructive sample cleanup and multidimensional gas chromatography-electron capture detection (MDGC-ECD) techniques were applied. Special attention was given to the toxicologically relevant congeners CB-77, CB-126, CB-169, CB-105, CB-114, CB-118, CB-156, CB-167, and CB-189 (IUPAC). Lipid-based tissue contents of sigma CBs were higher in the occupationally/accidentally exposed worker (adipose = 7,000 ng/g; whole blood = 11 ng/g) than in the general population (adipose = 300 ng/g; whole blood = 1.9 ng/g). Among the non-ortho Cl CBs, CB-77 was below detection limit (〈 1.0 pg/g). The contents of CB-126 for the capacitor manufacture worker were 2,000 and 3 pg/g, and in the general population were 100 and 2 pg/g for adipose and whole blood, respectively. The corresponding data for CB-169 were 3,500 and 4 for adipose and whole blood, respectively, in the exposed worker, and 40 and 2 for adipose and whole blood, respectively, in the general population. Congeners with highest contents were CB-153, CB-138, CB-180, CB-170, and CB-187. These congeners possess chlorine substitution patterns, making them resistant to metabolism. X/153 ratios suggest that both PB and 3-MC type cytochrome P-450 enzymes were induced in the exposed worker, as well as in the general population.

    Chlorinated biphenyls and p,p'-DDE in Mediterranean surface waters (1997)
    Croatian Chemical Society
    In:  Croatica Chemica Acta, 70 (1). pp. 309-321.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-09-23
    Description: Individual chlorobiphenyls (CBs) and p,p'-DDE were determined in solution and suspension in surface transects of the open Mediterranean Sea in 1987. Large volumes of sea water (1400—1700 dm3) were analyzed. Concentrations of CBs were low in solution (〈5 pg/dm3) and in suspension (〈60 pg/dm3). Values for their sum (XCB) were 1.7-43.9 and 190-615 pg/dm3, respectively. Compositions of the CB mixtures in solution as well as those in suspension were very similar in the various transects, but considerable differences were present between solution and suspension in each transect. It was attempted to interpret these differences in terms of molecular characteristics (octanol-water distribution coefficients, Kaw). The resulting plots of log Kovl vs. the apparent distribution coefficient (log K&) gave evidence for the uptake of CBs by suspended particles, followed by sedimentation out of the surface layer. Concentrations in solution were much lower (1-2 orders of magnitude) than those reported before. This may result from improvements in the sampling and analytical techniques. No clear evidence for significant local sources of these compounds was detected in the surface waters, as the levels in solution were very similar to the very low concentrations in the adjacent open Atlantic.
