Abstract:
In this study, a method for the congener-specific analysis of polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) in fly ash from a waste incineration plant is described. This method involves extraction, column chromatography, and gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric techniques. Representative fly ash samples are obtained from the waste incinerator. The purpose of this research is to briefly present the findings as they relate to PCDFs. Analyses indicate that PCDFs are consistently found in the municipal incinerator.
