In July 1997, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) conducted a demonstration of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) field analytical techniques. The purpose of this demonstration was to evaluate field analytical technologies capable of detecting and quantifying PCB's in soils and solvent extracts. The fundamental objective of this demonstration were (1) to obtain technology performance information using environmental and quality control samples, (2) to determine how comparable the developer field analytical results were with conventional reference laboratory results, and (3) to report on the logistical operation of the technology. The demonstration design was subjected to extensive review and comment by EPA's National Exposure Research Laboratory (ORNL); EPA Regional Offices; the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE); and the technology developers.
