Abstract
The usual methods for determining polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (P CDD), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDF) and polychlorinated bipheny ls (PCB) are generally expensive and time consuming. This fact has fav ored the development of faster and cheaper techniques, based on immuno assays and bioassays. This paper reviews these bioanalytical methods a nd their analytical importance at the present moment. (C) 1997 Elsevie r Science B.V.
