Validation of Sampling and Analysis of Dioxins

Abstract
During 1985 and 1986 the PCDD and PCDF emissions from MSW incinerators have been carefully studied in Sweden. The use of 13C-labelled compounds shows that sampling and analysis should be validated by the use of such compounds. Corrections should be made for losses during sampling and analysis. Isomer-specific analytical methods should be used. Minor differences were found in isomeric patterns and congener profiles between different incinerators. Emission levels were found to vary greatly.
