The EC/GC analysis of this second set of settling pond water
samples confirmed our earlier results (Memo, NTJ, 2-2-70).
The EC chromatogram, of the effluent samples from Pond #5
.
(GA, B), as before, were not identical to either Aroclor
1242 or 1248 but rather like a mixture of the two. This
alteration can probably be attributed to some biological or
physical phenomenon occurring in the ponds.
The EC chror..*\tograms of all other samples (from Ponds 1-4) were equivalent to that of production Aroclor 1242 in every respect.
The variable results obtained for the duplicate (?) samples is not readily explainable. I have included selected chromato grams for your reference.
