Abstract A micro scale procedure is described for quantitatively separating polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) from DDT and its analogs. DDT and TDE are initially dehydrochlorinated with ethanolic KOH to their respective olefins, DDE and TDE-olefin (l-chloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl) ethylene). The olefins are then oxidized by Cr03 in acetic acid to the more polar dichlorobenzophenone. PCBs are eluted from a micro Florisil column with petroleum ether. Typical recoveries in the ppm range (based on a 5 g sample) were >80% for Aroclors 1254 and 1260. Recoveries generally were poorer with Aroclors of lower chlorine content and decreased with decreasing quantity of Aroclor present. The DDT group was not quantitatively determined; recoveries averaged ≥60% for the DDT group in the ppm range (based on a 5 g sample). The procedure was successfully applied to samples of Lake Michigan chubs containing residues of PCBs and the DDT group and to extracts of human serum fortified with Aroclors and the DDT group.
