Brominated dioxins and dibenzofurans (PBDDs and PBDFs) are known contaminants in commercial fire retardant preparations. Further, they are formed in incineration processes involving polybrominated biphenyl and diphenylether fire retardants. This report presents the characterization of polybrominated dioxins and dibenzofurans. In particular, environmental monitoring methodology for PBDDs and PBDFs has been developed, and confirmation criteria for GC/MS analyses are presented.
