Tucker This note summarizes work we have done to date on the detection of PCB's in environmental materials. The attached table covers a total if 167 samples which have been analyzed. PCB's typical of our Aroclor products have been found in - . water and sediment from nine US rivers, one UK river and Lake Michigan, . air_ (atmospheric, 0.05 mg PCB/cubic meter) at the Anniston plant, * fish from Lake Michigan and three midwest rivers, . human fat from a midwest biopsy specimen and . milk from Maryland and Ohio' dairy farms. The water, sediment and air samples contain PCB's typical of Aroclor 1242, 1248, 1254 and/or 1260. The milk, human fat and fish samples contain PCB's most typical of Aroclor 1254. tec R. E.
