Gullett*, B K. AND E. Wikstrom. MONO- TO TRI-CHLORINATED DIBENSODIOXIN (CDD) AND DIBENZOFURAN (CDF) CONGENERS/HOMOLOGUES AS INDICATORS OF CDD AND CDF EMISSIONS FROM MUNICIPAL WASTE AND WASTE/COAL COMBUSTION. CHEMOSPHERE 40(9-11):1015-1019, (2000).

Description:

Total homologue concentrations and select congener concentrations from amongst the mono- to tri-chlorinated dibenzodioxins (CDDs) and dibenzofurans (CDFs) are used to model both total (mono- to octa-) CDD + CDF emissions and the toxicity equivalent (TEQ) of 2,3,7,8-chlorine-substituted emissions. Analysis of emission data from two facilities indicates that use of total homologue concentrations shows limited, facility-specific correlations with total CDDs/CDFs and TEQ. Concentrations of select mono- to tri-CDD/CDF congeners show promising correlation with CDD/CDF TEQ across facilities, suggesting that these compounds can act as TEQ indicators.
