Hazard: Beilstein test! Just one Beilstein test can expose the analyst to more than the acceptable daily limit of 2,3,7,8‐tetrachlorodibenzo‐l, 4‐dioxin, depending on the analyte. The conditions of this routine test for halogenated organic compounds are comparable to those of the Cu‐catalyzed formation of polychlorinated dibenzo‐ p ‐dioxins and ‐furans from organic substances and halogen donors in, for instance, the incineration of waste.
