Original Abstract

I our work, we looked for indicator PCB congeners No. 28, 52, 118, 138, 153 and 180, minority PCB congeners No. 8, 18, 47, 49, 187, 189 and 209, and some non-orthosubstituted congeners No. 77, 81, 126 and 169. All the monitored PCB congeners of different ratios and concentration were identified in the samples of sediments. The highest rate of contamination was found in the samples from the notorious loaded areas, such as the surroundings of the towns of Uherské Hradiště or Žamberk, where the PCB containing industrial mixtures were used in the process of production. The ratio of indicator and minority congeners corresponded with their representation in the technical mixtures of Delor 103 and 106, and was comparable with the results of the similarly oriented studies.
