Determination of İndicator Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs)

EPA 1613,EPA 1668 - Determination of İndicator Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) (PCB28, PCB52, PCB101, PCB138, PCB153 and PCB180 (ICES-6)) - GC MS/MS Method

Determination of İndicator Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs)

Today, food can be contaminated with various anthropopathogenic contaminants in different ways. It is also taken into the human body through food. While some chemicals can be eliminated from the human body quickly, most of the fat-soluble compounds are stored in the body and can be metabolized slowly and excreted. PCB is a fat-soluble substance that is stored in the body for a long time.

It accumulates in adipose tissue due to its lipophilic and stability properties. This situation can be dangerous for human health. Known routes of exposure to PCBs are through the skin, inhalation, and gastrointestinal tract. The most common route is through the gastrointestinal tract. In other words, it is mostly taken into the body with food. As a result of studies, PCB exposure has been associated with immunological and neurobehavioral abnormalities in children, as well as diabetes and cancers.

For these reasons, Indicator PCB in Food, Food Additives and Food Supplements, Aquaculture, Baby Foods, Infant and Young Child Supplementary Food, Follow-Up Formulas, (Foods Given on Wet Weight), (Foods with Results Based on Fat), Feed and Feed Additives Sum of 's must be determined.

Analysis of the Total of Indicator PCBs (PCB28, PCB52, PCB101, PCB138, PCB153 and PCB180 (ICES-6) is performed by GC MS/MS method.

EPA 1613: Octa-Chlorinated Dioxins and Furans via Tetra- by Isotope - Dilution HRGC/HRMS
EPA 1668: Toxic Polychlorinated Biphenyls High Resolution Gas Chromatography / High Resolution Mass Spectrometry with Isotope Dilution
