SAMPLING
& ANALYSIS
SAMPLING & ANALYZING ALL PCB CONTAMINATED SUBSTRATES
| Wipe
Samples of Non-Porous Surfaces

| |
|
|
In
order to decontaminate the residual PCB levels on impenetrable
surface, wipe samples are taken using small, hexane-soaked
sorbent pads and templates of various sizes and shapes depending
on the type of surface to be sampled. Samples are sent to
our laboratory for extraction and gas chromatographic analysis.
Any samples that exceed the government's guideline of less
than 10 µg/100 cm² will be subjected to the decontamination
process again and re-sampled.

of Electrical Equipment |

Whether
electrical equipment is in service or being stored as suspected
PCB waste, PCB Disposal can provide sampling and PCB analysis
of oils in a turnaround of no more than 5 working days. In emergency
situations, a premium price will guarantee analytical results
"same day". Sites that are being decommissioned in
particular, typically require several samples of different substrates
for analysis of PCB contamination. We can provide PCB sampling
and analysis of transformers, circuit breakers, potheads, rectifiers,
PILC cable, conservators, switches, x-ray units, etc.

Disposal has developed protocols, acceptable to the regulatory
authorities for sampling and analyzing a wide variety of substrates
including asphalt, wood, rubber, plastic, cloth, Tyvec, PVC,
concrete, soil, water, sludge, solvent, fuel, powder, grease,
paper, cardboard, tar, gravel, paint, resins, transformer fins
and cores, laminations, copper wire, etc. Any substrates that
are found to exceed less than 50 ppm PCBs can be disposed of
by PCB Disposal Inc. |
