Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Eighty-four PCB congeners in transformer oil produced in China were analyzed by gas chromatography mass spectrum (GC-MS) and the international toxicity equivalents (TEQ) indioxin-like PCBs found in Chinese transformer oil were also estimated. The major CB homologue in the total PCBs was Cl3-CB (63%) followed by Cl4-CB and Cl2-CB, accounted for 24% and 9% of ΣPCB, respectively. Low chlorinated biphenyls were the major components of the PCBs in transformer oil produced in China. PCBs in Chinese transformer oil contained 42.9% chlorine, similar to the Aroclor 1242 (contains 40%~42% chlorine). The concentrations of the 6 dioxin-like PCBs found in Chinese transformer oil were low, accounted for 1.6% of ΣPCB. The TEQ of the 6 dioxin-like PCBs was approximately 5.53 μg/mL which was 15% of those found in Aroclor 1242. Among the 6 dioxin-like PCBs, CB-77 had the highest TEQ value, which was 72% of total TEQ, and followed by CB-105 (15%) and the most toxic congener CB-126 (8%).

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
