“…The release of polycyclic aromatic compounds (PAH) [60,61], polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) [61], polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDD) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDF) has been widely studied [61][62][63][64][65][66][67]. PCDD and PCDF are also referred to as dioxin and when substituted with chlorine, see Table 2).…”

“…6,34,35 It is interesting to note that the homologous groups profile found in this study is very similar to that of air borne particulate from Standard Reference Material (SRM-1649) of National Institute Standards and Technology. 44 During many chemical reactions it has been found that PCDDs and PCDFs are formed as unwanted by-products. Another important primary source of PCDDs and PCDFs are combustion processes that involve burning of chlorinated organic or inorganic compounds resulting in the formation of PCDDs and PCDFs.…”

Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzo-p-furans (PCDFs) are unintentionally formed during inefficient combustions and as a by-product. Due to their resistance to degradation and their toxic effect on health, PCDD/Fs are listed by the Stockholm Convention as persistent organic pollutants (POPs). Once released into the atmosphere, most of them are adsorbed to air particles and transported away from sources in atmosphere. India signed the Stockholm Convention India agreeing thereby to reduce and eliminate the use of POPs. The German agency for Technical Cooperation helped develop facilities for monitoring POPs at a national level in Delhi. This paper presents the data generated during a training assignment for Central Pollution Control Board officials at the German laboratory. Air borne particulate matter (HCDF (21%)>hexa-chlorodibenzofurans (13%)=OCDF (13%)> HCDF (12%) and other individual congeners contribute less than 5%. High chlorinated congeners contributed with more than 80% for ∑PCDD/Fs I-TEQ. Rough estimates of tolerable daily intake (TDI) shows low health risk of exposure to ∑PCDD/Fs with inhalation of 0.098 pg I-TEQ kg -1 day -1 for adult and 0.152 pg TEQ kg -1 day -1 for children, which is much lower than World Health Organization recommended TDI for dioxins.
