A new reference material (RM), RM 8504, has been prepared for use as a diluent oil with Aroclors in transformer oil Standard Reference Materials (SRMs) 3075 to 3080 and SRM 3090 when developing and validating methods for the determination of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) as Aroclors in transformer oil or similar matrices. Today, the ISO 17025-certified full-service facility conducts water, soil, air and industrial testing, as well as electrical transformer oil testing, which accounts for approximately 15 per cent of the company's business. For example, one study found a significant increase in mortality from cardiovascular diseases among Swedish capacitor manufacturing workers exposed to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) for at least 5 years (Gustavsson and Hogstedt 1997), and in another study most excess deaths were due to cardiovascular disease in power workers exposed to phenoxy herbicides and PCBs in waste transformer oil (Hay and Tarrel 1997). |
