Thesis (MTech (Chemistry))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2012. / Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are known harmful chemicals which require urgent
remediation, monitoring and assessment in the environment. The predominant current
methods used to analyze PCBs involve expertise and are cost intensive. Most of these
methods are chromatographic based techniques which are difficult to sustain in Africa due to
the expensive nature of the instrument, costly running expenses and skilled labour required.
These limitations face Africans, who are the most affected by the presence of PCBs in their
environment as a result of improper disposal and usage of these compounds.
