Abstract
Grass and paper coated with several compounds containing the 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy moiety have been subjected to combustion. By using compounds that had been purified to achieve low background amounts of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) together with an efficient cleanup and analysis of the residue, it was possible to detect as little as 0.001 microgram of TCDD in the combustion products of 0.5 gram of the 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy material. Small self-supported fires converted about 10–6 of the 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy material to TCDD.Keywords
