Identification of Specific Isomers of PCDD Contaminants in Environmental Soils Generated from the Incineration of Waste Cables and Their Quantitative Analysis

In this study, a series of PCDDs emitted to the surrounding soil as the result of incineration of waste cables have been identified. PCDD contaminants were concentrated from soil samples and isolated from other materials by chromatographic methods. PCDD isomers were identified separately by column chromatography utilizing column packed with materials such as Kieselgel /44 vol. % H2SO4, Macro Alumina B Super 1, Mix Column, Bio Beads S-X3, Alumina B Super 1 + Kieselgel/AgNO3 and their quantitative determinations were performed by GC/MS (gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy).
