19、14:2013ISO 13914:2013(E)IntroductionTwo groups of related chlorinated aromatic ethers are known as polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs). They consist of a total of 210 individual substances (congeners): 75 PCDDs and 135 PCDFs.A group of chlorinated arom

20、atic compounds similar to polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) is known as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) which consist of 209 individual substances.PCDDs and PCDFs can form in the combustion of organic materials. They also occur as undesirable by-pro

21、ducts in the manufacture or further processing of chlorinated organic chemicals. PCDDs/PCDFs enter the environment via these emission paths and through the use of contaminated materials. In fact, they are universally present at very small concentrations. The 2,3,7,8-substituted congeners are toxicol

22、ogically significant. Toxicologically much less significant than the tetrachlorinated to octachlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins/dibenzofurans are the 74 monochlorinated to trichlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins/dibenzofurans.PCBs have been produced over a period of approximately 50 y until the end of the 1990s

23、 for the purpose of different uses in open and closed systems, e.g. as electrical insulators or dielectric fluids in capacitors and transformers, as specialized hydraulic fluids, or as a plasticizer in sealing material. Worldwide, more than 1 million tons of PCBs were produced.PCDD/Fs as well as PCB

24、s are emitted during thermal processes such as waste incineration. In 1997, a group of experts of the World Health Organization (WHO) fixed toxicity equivalent factors (TEF) for PCDDs and 12 PCBs, known as dioxin-like PCBs (see Annex A). These 12 dioxin-like PCBs consist of four non-ortho PCBs and e

25、ight mono-ortho PCBs (no or only one chlorine atoms in 2-, 2-, 6- and 6-position), having a planar or mostly planar structure. Dioxin-like PCBs can contribute considerably to the total WHO-TEQ.Only skilled operators who are trained in handling highly toxic compounds should apply the method described

26、 in this International Standard.This International Standard is applicable for several types of matrices and validated for municipal sludge (see Annex B for the results of the validation).

It is permitted to modify the method if all performance criteria given in this method are met.NOTE In principle

34、, this method can also be applied for sediments, mineral wastes, and for vegetation. It is the responsibility of the user of this International Standard to validate the application for these matrices. For measurement in complex matrices like fly ashes adsorbed on vegetation, it can be necessary to f

40、ion of PCDD/PCDF and dioxin-like PCB in sludge, biowaste, and soil. For the isotope dilution method, 17 labelled PCDD/F and 12 labelled PCB internal standards are used. The extracts for the GC-MS measurements contain one or two recovery standards. The gas chromatographic parameters offer information

41、 which enables the identification of congeners (position of chlorine substitutes) whereas the mass spectrometric parameters enable the differentiation between isomers with different numbers of chlorine substitutes and between dibenzo-p-dioxins, furans, and PCBs.13C12-labelled PCDD/F and PCB congener

42、s are added to the sample prior to extraction and GC/HRMS measurement. Losses during extraction and clean-up are detected and compensated by using these added congeners as internal standards for quantification together with recovery standards which are added just before the GC/HRMS analysis. For the

43、 determination of these substances, it is necessary to separate PCBs from PCDDs/PCDFs and vice versa.The main purpose of the clean-up procedure of the raw sample extract is the removal of sample matrix components, which can overload the separation method, disturb the quantification, or otherwise 2 I
