Abstract
An analytical method for determination of PCB (Aroclor 1254) in blood, urine, feces, and tissues of Sherman strain rats after prolonged dietary intake (100, 500, and 1000 ppm) is presented. The method involves homogenization and extraction with hexane, cleanup on a silica gel microcolumn and analysis by electron-capture gasliquid chromatography. Recovery data are shown at 0.1, 5, 14, and 100 ppm. Mass spectroscopic characteristics of PCB in tissues are given. Distribution, storage, and excretion rates during feeding and after discontinuance of PCB in the diet are presented.
