Abstract: | Polychlorinated dibenzothiophenes, PCDBTs, have been analysed with HRGC/HRMS from different bleached pulp mill effluents. 2,3,7,8-TeCDBT was found to be the dominating TeCDBT isomer in some samples. The estimated concentrations of the TeCDBTs in the samples were < 1 to 60 pg/L. PeCDBTs and other higher chlorinated PCDBTs were not found (< 1 pg/L). |
