Dioxin & PCB analysis

Polychlorinated dibezo-p-dioxins and dibenzofuranes (PCDD/PCDF) – basic characteristics, properties

• PCDD/F – Primary sources
• PCDD/F - Structure, number of congeners
• PCDD/F - Toxic equivalent factors (TEFs)
• PCDD/F – Expression of the analytical result via Toxic equivalent (TEQ)
• PCDD/F - The aim of analysis and reporting

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)-basic characteristics, properties

• PCBs-sources

• Number of PCB isomers and congeners

• PCB - Coplanar versus non-coplanar PCBs

• PCBs - Toxic equivalent factors (TEFs) of dioxin like PCBs

• PCBs - Expression of the analytical result via Toxic equivalent (TEQ)

• PCBs - The aim of analysis and reporting

The most famous „Dioxin“ crises in the past

• EU legislation concerning PCDD/Fs and PCBs -feeding stuffs (maximum limits)

• EU legislation concerning PCDD/Fs and PCBs -food (maximum limits)

• ALS CR - Lab Pardubice – instrumental fleet
