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
