Abstract

Differences between chemical activated luciferase gene expression (CALUX) bioassay and chemoanalyses results are observed. This paper shows that calculations of the TEQ values using REP values instead of WHO TEF values give different results. The REP values do affect the results obtained by the CALUX technique. These differences are more marked for the dioxin like PCB compounds (CALUX TEQ values are lower than WHO TEQ values) than for the dioxin compounds (CALUX TEQ values are higher than WHO TEQ values). The CALUX results were compared with the concentrations of the congeners’ spiked into the oil.
