Dioxin is the name generally given to a class of super-toxic chemicals, the chlorinated dioxins and furans, formed as a by-product of the manufacture, molding, or burning of organic chemicals and plastics that contain chlorine. It is the nastiest, most toxic man-made organic chemical; its toxicity is second only to radioactive waste.
Chelab laboratories is active since many years in the field of analysis of micropollutants, using the most sophisticated and modern technological equipment, such as HRGC/HRMS and the most reliable and sensitive analytical methods.
Chelab Micropollutant High Resolution laboratory is able to perform the determination of PolyChlor DibenzoDioxins, PolyChlor DibenzoFurans (PCDD/PCDF), and PolyChlor Byphenils (PCBs) in food and environmental samples using official methods, such as EPA Method 1613 (click here to learn more about EPA 1613) and EPA Method 1668 (click here to learn more about EPA 1668), which implicate the use of gas chromatograph – high resolution mass spectrometer system (HRGC/HRMS), which allow the detection of highly toxic micropollutants with great capabilities in speed, resolution and sensitivity.
The experience and professionality of this sector is underlined by the continuous participation to proficiency tests, both national (CIND, UNICHIM) and European (Folkehelseinstituttet, Örebro University); in this way the analytical process is continuously controlled and improved.
The laboratory is able to guarantee its customers fast turnaround and reliable data.
Test results are available within 10 business days.
