摘要

In the paper, results are reported of a monitoring study on levels of PCDDs and PCDFs in cow's milk from dairy farms in the vicinity of two municipal solid waste incinerators (MSWs) in the Netherlands. Levels are expressed in picograms 2,3,7,8-TCDD toxicity equivalents (TEQ) per gram of milk fat, calculated on the basis of international toxicity equivalence factors (TEF) of individual components. Samples consisted of time-averaged sampling of cow's milk during periods of one month of in total ten dairy farms, five near Alkmaar and five in the Lickebaert-area. Samples were collected in the period from July to September 1991.
