Abstract

Soil is an environmental sink and reservoir for such lipophylic contaminants as PCBs. The technical mixtures, released into soil during the production are one of the main sources of "industrial" pollution. This paper presents the preliminary determinations of PCBs concentration in the location where one of Polish PCBs mixtures, Chlorofen, was manufactured during the sixties. Depending of the sampling site, the level of the sum of 15 PCBs congeners ranged from 0.6 to 783.3 mug/g dry weight.
