Abstract
AbstractA method to analyze polychlorinated dibenzo‐p‐dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/DFs, dioxins) and coplanar polychlorinated biphenyls in environmental samples is developed and used to determine the levels of PCDD/DFs in 13 soil and 4 fish samples collected around a waste pentachlorophenol manufacturing plant. The 2,3,7,8‐tetrachlorodioxin toxic equivalents (TEQ) values range from 0.239 ng‐TEQ/g to 1357 ng‐TEQ/g in soil samples and 0.041 ng‐TEQ/g to 0.247 ng‐TEQ/g in fish samples. A broader survey of PCDD/DF contamination in the vicinity around the manufacturing plant is strongly recommended.
