In July 1997, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) conducted a211u001edemonstration of Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) field analytical techniques. The 211u001epurpose of this demonstration was to evaluate field analytical technologies 211u001ecapable of detecting and quantifying PCBs in soils and solvent extracts. The 211u001efundamental objectives of this demonstration were (1) to obtain technology 211u001eperformance information using environmental and quality control samples; (2) to 211u001edetermine how comparable the developer field analytical results were wither 211u001econventional reference laboratory results; and (3) to report on the logistical 211u001eoperation of the technology. The demonstration design was subjected to extensive 211u001ereview and comment by EPA's National Exposure Research Laboratory (NERL) 211u001eEnvironmental Sciences Division in Las Vegas, Nevada; Oak Ridge National 211u001eLaboratory (ORNL); EPA Regional Offices; the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE); and 211u001ethe technology developers.
