themix can be used for reporting either PCB con-
gener results or total PCBs. Decachlorobiphenyl and
tetrachloro-
m
-xylene are appropriate as internal
standard and surrogate standard, respectively. The
PCB congener standard is a very useful addition to
our group of Aroclor
®
referencemixes.
Figure 2 is a GC/ECD analysis of the 19 PCB con-
geners, with the internal and surrogate standards. To
simplify thework of analysts whomonitor both pes-
ticides and PCBs, we used the same 30m, 0.32mm

tions in both analyses: the conditions used to obtain
Figure 2 are optimal for very rapid analysis (11.5
min.) of theMethod 8082A PCB congeners, as was
true for the pesticides.
