Abstract
Sediment samples from nine culture ponds for freshwater fish at and ne ar waste incineration sites for metal reclamation in Wan-Li, southern Taiwan, Republic of China were analyzed for PCDDs and PCDFs by HRGC-HR MS. Four of nine samples were heavily polluted by PCDDs and PCDFs, ind icating the latter to be dominant, The total TEQ concentrations of PCD Ds and PCDFs in the four samples were in the range of 257 to 12200 pg/ g dry weight. In addition, the levels corresponded to those of surface soil samples from the same waste combustion areas.
