Abstract

Hydroxylated polychlorinated biphenyls (OH-PCBs) are well known as metabolites of PCBs in the human body. We improved a measurement method for OH-PCBs in blood samples using LC/MS/MS. A new 2 microm particle column was used, and the analytical conditions for the LC/MS/MS measurements were optimized. The improved method is more sensitive than the conventional method for 5g blood samples. And, this method is effective at determining the concentrations of OH-PCBs, PCBs and dioxins from the same sample without special treatment of the sample such as derivatization.
