Abstract
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) have been analysed for many years in various mediums such as water, sediments, soils and biological mediums. More recently, oil has been added to this list with the implementation of regulations on transformer and reclaimed oils. However, the methods used to analyse PCBs in these oils is not the same as for other mediums since the similarity between the properties of PCBs and the oils could interfere with analysis results.
