| Abstract: | Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in soils of Belarus were studied. The PCB concentrations in reference soils were determined. High accumulation levels of PCBs were found at the working and storage sites of PCB-containing electrical equipment. Soil contamination under PCB leakage from damaged capacitors and transformers was analyzed. Contamination of the Lakokraska plant site and adjacent areas (Grodno oblast) because of the long-term use of the Sovol was revealed. The structure of the PCB isomers in the soils was described depending on the contamination source. |
