Dioxins and furans (PCDD/F) in polymers, paper, and rubber
Dioxins and furans are a family of chlorine-containing chemicals considered bioaccumulating, persistent organic pollutants (POPs) that can be toxic even at low doses.
While regulatory limits apply mainly to food and feed, packaging materials can be a source of indirect exposure to dioxins and furans. Recycled materials tend to pose relatively high risks, depending on the quality of the raw material and the effectiveness of the decontamination processes.
This package covers the analysis of dioxins and furans (PCDD/F) in various packaging materials (e.g. food and cosmetics packaging) and their raw materials, including plastics, paper, and rubber.
The following substances are quantified during the analysis:
Dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) | Polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) |

Testing is often performed for the following reasons:
Analyzing recycled PE, PP and LDPE intended for cosmetics packaging according to CosPaTox guidelines.
Analyzing paper and board bleached with elementary chlorine according to the requirements of TemaNord 2008:515 guidelines.
