Abstract

Graphite electrodes have been used as anodes in a common electrolytical process to produce chlorine in the chloralkali industry. High levels of polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) have been found in electrode sludge formed during this process. Results from analyses of blood samples from workers in this industry indicate an occupational exposure to PCDFs in the chloralkali plants, when graphite electrodes were used.
