Dioxins and PCBs in water, food, and feed

Analysis of dioxins and PCBs (dioxin-like substances) as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO). The analysis package contains the following determinations: TEQ-WHO values: - Dioxins - Dioxin-like PCBs - Dioxins + Dioxin-like PCBs Dibenzo-p-dioxins: - 2,3,7,8-TetraCDD - 1,2,3,7,8-PentaCDD - 1,2,3,4,7,8-HexaCDD - 1,2,3,6,7,8-HexaCDD - 1,2,3,7,8,9-HexaCDD - 1,2,3,4,6,7,8-HeptaCDD - OctaCDD Dibenzofurans: - 2,3,7,8-TetraCDF - 1,2,3,7,8-PentaCDF - 2,3,4,7,8-PentaCDF - 1,2,3,4,7,8-HexaCDF - 1,2,3,6,7,8-HexaCDF - 1,2,3,7,8,9-HexaCDF - 2,3,4,6,7,8-HexaCDF - 1,2,3,4,6,7,8-HeptaCDF - 1,2,3,4,7,8,9-HeptaCDF - OctaCDF Dioxin-like PCBs: Non-ortho PCBs: - PCB 77 - PCB 81 - PCB 126 - PCB 169 Dioxin-like PCBs: Mono-ortho PCBs: - PCB 105 - PCB 114 - PCB 118 - PCB 123 - PCB 156 - PCB 157 - PCB 167 - PCB 189 The level of dioxins and PCBs in food and animal feed is regulated by several pieces of EU legislation, including the following: - Commission Regulation (EU) 1259/2011 - Commission Regulation (EU) 277/2012 - Directive 2002/32/EC
