| Abstract: | The objective of this phase of the Cumberland PCB Project was to determine Polychlorinated Biphenyl (PCB) congener concentrations in water samples from Cumberland Bay and the Main Lake portion of Lake Champlain, New York. Large volume water samples were collected from nine different sites from 2-4 times through the summer of 1996, representing 25 samples (50 analyses) in the particulate and dissolved phases. Samples were filtered and extracted onto XAD -2 resin, soxhlet extracted, concentrated and analysed by gas chromatography with electron capture detection following protocols established through the Great Lakes Research Programs (Swackhamer, 1998). This QA summary includes data on concentrations of 90 congeners measured in those analyses as well as information summarizing the precision and accuracy of these procedures. |
