“…The GC analyses were performed on both a DB-5MS and an SP-2331 column as described elsewhere, 18 in order to resolve all 2,3,7,8 substituted PCDD/F-congeners from each other and from non-2,3,7,8 substituted PCDD/Fs (2,3,7,8-TeCDF and 1,2,3,7,8-PeCDD partially separated). 20 To produce an easily presented overview of the results the intrinsic toxic potential of the samples (TEQ, Total Toxic Equivalent) was calculated for the PCDD/Fs by multiplying the individual concentrations with their TEF (Total Equivalency Factor) 2 and summing all contributions.…”
