Dioxine bei der Müllverbrennung. Chlorbenzole und Chlorbiphenyle als Leitparameter für Toxizitätsaquivalente chlorierter Dibenzodioxine und - furane.

Concentrations of polychlorinated dibenzodioxins (PCDD), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDF), chlorobenzenes, chlorophenols, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) were measured in the stack gas of a hazardous waste incinerator. Toxicity equivalents (I-TE) were calculated according to the international toxicity equivalency factor scheme. I-TE were significantly correlated with chlorobenzenes and PCB. These classes of compounds can therefore be used as indicator parameters from which I-TE values may be estimated. The most accurate estimates were made using pentachlorobenzene or heptachlorobiphenyl.Concentrations of polychlorinated dibenzodioxins (PCDD), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDF), chlorobenzene chlorophenols, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) were measured in the stack gas of a hazardous waste incinerator.
