The measurement of PCDD/Fs in the environment is
a widespread activity carried out by many regulatory
agencies globally. The chronic toxicity of these
compounds to humans and wildlife at extremely low
concentrations requires that the techniques used in
determination must be both sensitive and selective enough
to allow high confidence results. This is especially true
when measuring background levels in environmental
matrices, such as soil and sediment or byproducts from
waste incineration processes.
