Measuring PCB and Arachlor levels in water and the environment is crucial for human health and the ecosystem.
These persistent organic pollutants were widely used in industry before being banned due to their harmful effects. They can persist in the environment and bioaccumulate in the food chain, posing risks to humans and wildlife.
Adverse health effects include developmental and reproductive disorders, immune system dysfunction, and cancer. PCBs and arachlors can also harm ecosystems and aquatic organisms. Accurate standard mixes are essential for testing labs to measure pesticide levels in the environment.
