Assessing dioxin precursors in pesticide formulations and environmental samples as a source of octachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin in soil and sedimentEva Holt
School of Environment and Centre for Environmental Systems Research, Griffith University, Nathan 4111, Australia
Environ Sci Technol 42:1472-8. 2008..The results further suggest that formation of OCDD from pesticide derived precursors may be a possible past, present, and future pathway for contamination of environmental samples...
Assessing forest fire as a potential PCDD/F source in Queensland, AustraliaJoelle A Prange
National Research Centre for Environmental Toxicology EnTox, University of Queensland, 39 Kessels Road, Coopers Plains, Queensland, Australia 4108
Environ Sci Technol 37:4325-9. 2003..The results from this study indicate that forest fires are unlikely to be the source of the unknown PCDD contamination in Queensland, rather they are a key mechanism for the redistribution of PCDD/Fs from existing sources and precursors...
Relevance of coplanar PCBs for TEQ emission of fluidized bed incineration and impact of emission control devicesTakeshi Sakurai
