What is PCB? PCB stands for polychlorinated biphenyl, which is an artificially created chemical substance that is primarily oily. It has characteristics such as being difficult to dissolve in water, having a high boiling point, being resistant to thermal decomposition, being non-flammable, and having high electrical insulation properties. Additionally, due to its chemically stable nature, it was used in various applications such as insulating oil for electrical equipment, heat transfer fluids in heat exchangers, and non-carbon paper. However, due to its property of being easily soluble in fats, it gradually accumulates in the body and has been reported to cause various symptoms, leading to a ban on both its production and importation. PCB-containing Coatings It is known that PCB was added as a plasticizer in some chlorinated rubber-based paints. These paints were used for coating steel structures such as bridges and buildings during the period of rapid economic growth, and currently, these structures are in need of repair or renovation. In October 2019, the "Measurement Methods for Low Concentration PCB Containing Waste (4th Edition)" was published by the Ministry of the Environment, which specifies that measurement should only be conducted using mass spectrometers such as GC/HRMS as the analytical method.

The Environmental Pollution Center Co., Ltd. can accommodate both the official PCB measurement method and the simplified PCB measurement method established by the Ministry of the Environment.
