Abstract
Polychlorinated Dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDD) and Dibenzofurans (PCDF) in f ly ash samples from coal-burning power plants in Greece have been dete rmined by high resolution gas chromatography combined with mass spectr ometric detection (HRGC-MS) applying the isotopic dilution technique. Concentrations of PCDFs were 20 to 600 fold higher than for PCDDs. The concentrations of PCDDs and PCDFs were in the range of 11-62 and 1254 -7180 pg/g respectively. Fly ashes from coal-burning power plants were found to be potential sources of PCDFs.
