Abstract
Methods of analysis for chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (CDDs) and dibenzofurans (CDFs) based on high resolution mass spectrometry detection techniques have been developed and applied. The application of these methods for identification and quantification of CDDs and CDFs in samples collected from accidental fires involving electrical transformers and incineration processes are described. Analytical results for specific incidents, criteria used for confirmation of CDDs and CDFs and the problems caused by the lack of sufficient reference standards are discussed.
