USEPA method 8082 was used to analyze the PCB congeners 28, 52, 101, 138, 153 and 180, extracted from wastewater by using solid phase extraction cartridges. Recovery ratios were determined to be between 78% and 93% with the analyses of fortified samples. PCB contents of Konya wastewater varied between 0 and 1.3 mug/L for each congener. Possible sources of PCBs in wastewater and some measures to prevent their discharges are discussed.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesspolychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)wastewatersGC/ECD analysisKonyaTurkeyArticle1311A10901093N/AWOS:000226019700003Q4
