Abstract
During recent years, the pollution problem has become ever more serious and many laboratories throughout the world are setting up particularly specific and sensitive methods for identifying traces of substances present in the environment. Recently in Northern Italy a serious accident occurred which polluted a densely populated area with an extremely toxic compound, identified as 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-para-dioxin (2,3,7,8-TCDD). In this paper the way in which this problem was tackled will be discussed. To monitor the degree of exposure of animals present in the contaminated areas, a method for routine identification and quantitative determination of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-para-dioxin has been developed.
