March 25, 1974 SPECIFICATIONS FOR MONOCHLOROBIPHENYL
TO K. R. Richard T3A
H. S. Bergen - B2SL T. L. Cossagc - BISL
C. Paton * B2SC J. R. Savage - B2SL
The present specifications for polychlorobiphenyls (PCBs) in Monochlorobiphenyl (MCBP) are a maximum of 1.04 and 1.34
for lov;-para and high-para MCBP, respectively. Most of this PCB is 2,2'-Dichlorobiphenyl. The samples ve have generated
in the laboratory have been found to contain 440 to 500 ppm of PCBs other than 2,2'-Dichlorobiphenyl. V'ould there be an advantage to us to split this out in the specifications? The new specifications would be as follows:
Low-Para MCBP
High-Para MCEP
Biphenyl
o-Chlorobiphenyl
m-Chiorobiphenyl p*Chlorobiphenyl
2,2'-Dichlorobiphenyl All other PCBs
0.64 max.
60.04 min. 4.04 max.
Remainder 0.94 max. 0.14 max.
