| PRODUCT DESCRIPTION |
Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (dioxins and furans) are a family of over 200 chlorinated organic compounds. Dioxins are ubiquitous in the environment at very low levels, and reach humans by intake in food, inhalation and absorption through the skin. It is generally accepted that even in minute amounts these chemicals may cause cancer and birth defects. Dioxins and furans appear as by-products of some chemical processes and from inefficient combustion. Low human exposure guidelines necessitate the use of high resolution GC/MS for the analysis of these compounds. Dioxin analysis is performed using High Resolution Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS). |
