The dioxin-like compounds are one of the most hazardous material groups in the world. Traditional chemical analysis methods (e.g., HRGC/HRMS and HRGC/LRMS) are time-consuming and costly for these compounds. Thus, the major aim of this study is to build a rapid and less-cost bioassay method. The Xenobiotic Detection Systems - chemical activated luciferase gene expression (CALUX) bioassay was thus employed in this study for detecting dioxin-like compunds. The dissertation is mainly concerned with three issues: 1) a review of the bioassay literature; 2) building the bioassay method for detecting dioxin-like compounds in milk and relative quality assurance/ quality control (QA/QC); and 3) discussing the effects of eight metal ions (Hg2+, Ag+, Cu2+, Fe2+, As5+, Cr6+, Cd2+, and Pb2+) on the bioassay method. The results of part one show that the main dioxin bioassay methods are immunoassay, the biological metabolic reaction of dioxins (including the DNA recombinant cell), and biosensors. The methods that based on the first and second principles have been accepted as standard analysis methods by U.S. EPA, and thus they are stable and accurate enough for use with real samples. Although biosensors are not a standard analysis method used by the U.S. EPA, however, they are important because they offer real-time on-site monitoring. The results of part two show that the analyzed data suggest that the CALUX bioassay criteria have: (1) control chart for quality control (QC) standards within the μ ± 2σ range; and (2) a recovery efficiency (i.e., relative standard deviation (RSD) of 20.7%. This bioassay method was utilized on 28 commercially available pasteurized milk samples, and the results illustrate that CALUX is a powerful approach for screening a large number of such samples. Finally, the results of part three show further study found that the bioassay cell-line was sensitive to particular metals, which might be a potential interfering factor. A two-level factorial-designed experiment was undertaken to identify the statistically significant factors from eight metal ions (Hg2+, Ag+, Cu2+, Fe2+, As5+, Cr6+, Cd2+, and Pb2+), and the results revealed that Hg2+, Cu2+, and Cr6+ had significant effects on the luciferase activity expression of the H1L6.1 cells. In addition, the correlation between luciferase activity and the relative survival ratio of H1L6.1 cells with metal concentrations was not comparable. This reveals the inhibiting effect of metals on luciferase activity may not only be caused by the reduction of H1L6.1 cells, but may also be caused by the other mechanisms, such as a reduction of luciferase enzyme production or the inhibiting effect of metal ions on CYP1A activation. The study illustrates that the bioassay method it presents is a rapid and less-costly approach for detecting dioxin-like compounds. However, potential interference factors, (specifically heavy metal ions) for the bioassay should be eliminated in the pretreatment process to maintain the stability of analysis. The proposed bioassay method with metabolite assay could be emplyeed in risk assessment by using the physiologically based pharmacokinetic model; in addition, the biosensors could be used as an on-site monitoring tool when combined with portable instruments.

A thermal desorption technoloy was choosen to treat the contaminated soil of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins/polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs). The main target of this work was to investigate the effects of heating temperatures on desorption efficiency and the PCDD/F concentrations in the thermal treated soils. Results reveal that the heating temperature is a significant factor that influenced both desorption efficiency and PCDD/F concentrations in the thermal treated soils. When heating temperatures were set at 750°C and 850°C, the desorption efficiency of the total PCDD/Fs in the contaminated soil was more than 99% and the pyrolysis efficiency of total PCDD/Fs was more than 97%. In addition, the total PCDD/Fs I-TEQ concentrations in the two desorbed soils at temperatures of 750°C and 850°C were 0.892 and 1.15 ng I-TEQ/kg, respectively, both were below the soil pollution regulated standard in Taiwan (1000 ng I-TEQ/kg).

This study investigates the characteristics of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the atmosphere of southern Taiwan. The ambient air was collected seasonally in four areas including industrial area, urban area A, urban area B as well as rural area to determine the concentrations of PCDD/Fs and PCBs. Gaseous and particulate concentrations were both obtained by measurement and simulation, and dry deposition fluxes and velocities were also developed. PCDD/F, PCB and their I-TEQ concentrations in urban area B were both the highest of all areas in fall and spring, followed by urban area A, industrial area and rural area. All PCB concentrations were higher than PCDD/Fs, but all the I-TEQ concentrations of PCBs were 10 times lower than PCDD/Fs. This result shows that PCDD/Fs dominated the toxicity in the atmosphere. The PCDD/F and PCB congener profiles of four different areas all show that 1,2,3,4,6,7,8-HpCDD, OCDD, 1,2,3,4,6,7,8-HpCDF and OCDF; PCB#77 (4CL), PCB#105 (5CL) and PCB#118 (5CL) were dominant respectively. The particle-phase PCDD/Fs dominated the partition in both measured and simulated data (average of 72.68-75.03%) except the lowly chlorinated congeners (4-5Cl PCDD/Fs). In terms of PCBs, the particle-phase PCBs contributed little in measured data, but the congeners which were highly chlorinated such as PCB#169 (6CL) and PCB#189 (7CL) were dominant in simulated data (average of 65.86-74.15%). The results form PCBs were quite different with PCDD/Fs. Additionally, the artifacts during sampling work due to the adsorption and blow-off mechanism were not fewer enough to neglect. The total dry deposition flux and estimated monthly dry deposition flux of PCDD/Fs in fall were both higher than in spring. It demonstrates that the dry deposition flux of PCDD/Fs decrease as the temperature increase. The trend of PCBs was the same as PCDD/Fs. It might due to the similar physical and chemical properties of PCDD/Fs and PCBs. Moreover, the dry deposition of PCDD/Fs and PCBs were mainly contributed by particle-phase compounds. This is probably due to the significantly higher deposition velocity of particle-phase PCDD/Fs (0.506-0.571 cm/s) and PCBs (2.83-5.49 cm/s) than the gas-phase (0.010 cm/s). Dry deposition velocities of individual congeners increased as the chlorine number increased in both fall and spring, and there was a significant difference between highly and lowly chlorinated congeners (differences of PCDD/Fs and PCBs were 3.9-4.8 and 7.7-9.3 times respectively).

This study investigates the characteristics of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) in leaves of the Ficus species in rural areas, Taiwan. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the transfer of atmospheric compounds into leaves. Additionally, a model to estimate the leaf content is developed and its results compared with the actual leaf content in Ficus species. Furthemore, the total degradation coefficient and half-life of PCDD/Fs in Ficus is estimated. The following conclusions are drawn. 1. The PCDD/Fs concentration in the atmosphere are between 0.129∼1.115 pg/Nm3, the average is 0.493pg/ Nm3.The PCDD/Fs concentrations in the atmosphere in the TD area is from 0.009 to 0.103 I-TEQ-pg/Nm3 with a nean value of 0.033 I-TEQ-pg/ Nm3. 2. The percentage of particle-bound of PCDD/Fs range from 48.9%(2,3,7,8-TCDF) to 96.9%(OCDD). 3.The maximum pore diameter that allowed suspension particle entering in the leaves of Ficus species is 3.2 μm and the particle-bound of PCDD/Fs with aerodynamic diameter(dae)<3.2 μm is 92.4%. 4.The PCDD/Fs leaf content in Ficus Species of TD area is form 0.178∼1.861 I-TEQ-pg/g(mean=0.467 I-TEQ-pg/g). The PCDD/Fs content , adsorbed on the leaves’ surfaces, is from 0.0021 to 0.0084I-TEQ-g/g (mean = 0.0062 pg-I-TEQ/g). 5.The average percentage of PCDD/Fs content absorded in and adsorbed on the surfaces of the leaves of Ficus are 99.07% and 0.93%,respectively. 6. The result of this study revealed that the primary pathway for PCDD/Fs entering the leaves was by particle phase absorption (86.4%). This result is different from the report by previous study that the gas phase PCDD/Fs was the main pathway entering the leaves. 7. The degradation coefficient ktot(including the photolysis and the biodegradation coefficient)of total PCDDs was determined as 0.0390 day-1 by using pseudo first kinetics:Cr=Cee-ktott, while that of total PCDFs was 0.0603 day-1 and the degradation coefficient of total PCDD/Fs was 0.0499 day-1, respectively. 8.The degradtion half-life of PCDD/Fs, estimated the pseudo first-order rate constant kp for photolysis and kb for biodegradation, were as follows . The half-life time of PCDDs in Ficus leaves is from 327 hours (1,2,3,4,7,8-HxCDD) to 458 hours (OCDD)and the average is 426 hours. The half-life time of PCDFs in Ficus leaves is from 240 hours(1,2,3,7,8,9-HxCDF) to 297 hours(1,2,3,7,8-PeCDF)and the mean half-life of seventeen PCDD/F congeners was 276 hours.

The mean PCDD/Fs concentration in 8 ambient air samples in the vicinity of PI municipal solid waste incinerator (MSWI) is 0.069 pg-I-TEQ/Nm3. Compared with ambient air concentration of Japan regulation level (0.6 pg-I-TEQ/Nm3), the ambient air concentration of the PI incinerator is lower than Japanese regulation level. The mean PCDD/Fs composition in vegetation and soil samples in the vicinity of PI MSWI is 2.259 and 1.007 ng-I-TEQ/kg-d.w., respectively. In this study, even the soil from site C, which has the highest PCDD/Fs level, can still be freely utilized (based on the German regulation value). According to the homologue profile of ambient air samples, most sites had profiles similar to those of PI MSWI or mobile sources. By comparing the PCDD/Fs concentration (composition) of maximum ground concentration sampling sites, upwind and downwind sampling sites, it is concluded that the emission of PCDD/Fs from the PI MSWI to its surrounding environment is not significant.

Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) are extremely toxic chemicals that can bio-accumulate in the biotic materials, cause endocrines disruption. This study describes PCDD/F behavior during the incineration of laboratory waste, including combustible laboratory solid waste (LSW), laboratory plastic waste (LPW), and organic laboratory liquid waste (LLW). Stack flue gas (SFG), input materials, bottom ash (BTA), first quenching tower ash (FQA), secondary quenching tower ash (SQA), and baghouse ash (BHA) were sampled and analyzed using high-resolution gas chromatography/high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRGC/HRMS) assay and bioassay. The PCDD/F concentration of SFG met the standard in Taiwan. The Cl levels of LPW and LLW were roughly equivalent to that of municipal solid waste (MSW). Therefore, the SFG concentration, content of fly ash, and distribution behavior of PCDD/Fs are reasonably similar to those of MSW incinerators. The LSW had an extremely high Cl level (11.4%). The emission factor of the whole incineration system was 888 μg I-TEQ/ton-waste, which is 10-fold higher than that of MSW. The PCDD/F was mainly in BTA (31.6 wt.%) and fly ash (63.1 wt.%), resulting in higher PCDD/F level of ashes compared with that of MSW ashes. Laboratory wastes are discharged from experimental, testing, or analysis processes, and contain various toxic chemical compounds with a high heating-value and a high chlorine content (〉 9%). Elevated PCDD/F emissions are caused by combustion of waste with high chlorine contents, incomplete combustion, and so called memory effects. Even though the duration of cold start-up is short compared with the hours of continuous steady operation in a waste incinerator, its negative effects with regard to PCDD/F emissions on both human health and the environment cannot be neglected. A full-scale laboratory-waste incinerator which is operated for 10 days in each run and has 15 to 20 runs annually was investigated in this study. Eleven PCDD/F samples of stack flue gas were collected during the cold start-up periods (for 60.5 hrs). The gas temperature of the primary combustion chamber was above 850°C, and was maintained at between 850 and 900°C by injecting diesel fuel without waste feed. For first 1.5–7.5 hours, the PCDD/F concentration in the stack flue gas was as high as 0.656–1.15 ng I-TEQ/Nm3. Afterward, during hours 10.5–35.5 and 54.5–60.5, this reduced to 0.159–0.459 and 0.218–0.254 ng I-TEQ/Nm3, respectively. Based on principal component analysis (PCA) and the H/L ratio, the results revealed a lower H/L ratio (0.81) before hour 32, indicating that less chlorinated PCDD/F homologues (tetra- and penta-) dominated, while after hour 32 more chlorinated PCDD/F homologues (hexa-, hepta- and octa-) had a higher concentration and the H/L ratio rises to 2.38. These results indicate that the PCDD/F emissions during cold start-up were caused by memory effects and thermal desorption. Most literatures focused on comparison of different thermal processes or emission characteristics in the various types of incinerator, but this study conducts some surveys with various types of wastes feeding in the same incinerator. The whole system emission factor including the PCDD/F emission of stack flue gas, bottom ash, fly ash, wastewater of wet scrubber were distinguished. PCDF/PCDD ratio, emission factor, output/input ratios (O/I ratios), H(hexa-, hepta- and octa-)/L(tetra- and penta-) ratio High-Chlorinated congeners/Low-Chlorinated congeners were observed to demonstrate the emission characteristic of PCDD/Fs. The unique patterns of PCDD/F can be used as PCDD/F “fingerprints”, but limited studies have evaluated significant PCDD/F fingerprint predictors. More available emission characteristics are needed from different types of sources, to discriminate the category of emission sources to which the individual belongs to. Both HRGC/HRMS analysis and bioassay results show similar PCDD/F emission characteristics during the incineration of LW. In addition, the linear regression between the values acquired using these two methods show a good relation (R2 〉0.84), indicating that Ad-DR bioassay is a promising fast-screen method for determining PCDD/F levels. Additionally, in order to reduce the PCDD/F emissions from the stack flue gas of waste incinerators, is highly recommended that a higher amount of activated carbon injection is used in front of the bag filters.

The objectives of the present study were to know the characteristics of Polychlorinated Dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and Dibenzofurans (PCDFs) in northern Taiwan. These areas were chosen to sample the concentrations of PCDD/Fs in the atmosphere in the vicinity of three municipal solid waste incinerators (MSWIs), a total of 42 air samples were collected and analyzed for 17 PCDD/Fs. The mean PCDD/Fs concentrations at these areas were 0.36, 0.449 and 0.575 pg/Nm3, respectively. The mean TEQ concentrations at these areas were 0.0207, 0.0272 and 0.0297 pg I-TEQ/Nm3, respectively. From the Comparison of PCDD/Fs congener profiles in the vicinity of three MSWIs, Part of OCDD, 1,2,3,4,6,7,8-HpCDD and OCDF were much high proportion. According to the percentage of gas-particle partitioning in the ambient air, the PCDD/Fs concentrations in the atmosphere were mainly in particle phase. For dry depositions, the dominant mechanism of the dry deposition was the particle-phase deposition. The PCDD/F dry deposition fluxes in the vicinity of three MSWIs in the atmosphere were 131,196 and 217 pg/m2-day, respectively.

Two secondary aluminum smelters (secondary ALSs) were sampled and measured for polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) to investigate the congener profiles of PCDD/Fs in the stack flue gases and emission factors and emission rates from the stack flue gases. Each total five stack flue gases and one bottom ash and fly ash was sampled from these two secondary ALSs (A and B) during March 3~5, 2003 and January 27~29, 2004. Furthermore, five flue gas samples were sampled from the fore of the bag filter. Each sample was last for 2~3 hours. The results are as the follows. The PCDD/F I-TEQ concentration in the stack flue gases of A was 10.6 ng I-TEQ/Nm3. 1,2,3,4,6,7,8-HpCDD and OCDD were the most abound congeners in PCDDs while 2,3,7,8-TeCDF, 2,3,4,7,8-PeCDF, 1,2,3,4,6,7,8-HpCDF and OCDF were the most abound ones in PCDFs. The mean PCDD/F emission factor was 536 μg/ton-feedstock (RSD: 44.5﹪), while the corresponding I-TEQ emission factor was 55.7 μg I-TEQ/ton-feedstock (RSD: 84.7%). The mean PCDD/F emission rate was 812 mg I-TEQ/hr (RSD: 73.6%). The PCDD/F I-TEQ concentration in the stack flue gases of B was 1.45 ng I-TEQ/Nm3. 1,2,3,4,6,7,8-HpCDD and OCDD were the most abound congeners in PCDDs while 2,3,4,7,8-PeCDF, 1,2,3,4,6,7,8-HpCDF, 2,3,7,8-TeCDF and 1,2,3,7,8-PeCDF were the most abound ones in PCDFs. The mean PCDD/F emission factor was 280 μg/ton-feedstock (RSD: 39.8﹪), while the corresponding I-TEQ emission factor was 40.4 μg I-TEQ/ton-feedstock (RSD:45.5%). The PCDD/F I-TEQ concentration in the stack flue gases of A was 7.3 times higher than that of B. It may be result from that the feedstock rate of A was 37.6 times higher than that of B, the intrinsic differences in their involved feeding materials, furnace operating conditions, and air pollution control devices (APCDs). The PCDD/F I-TEQ contents in the bottom ash and fly ash of A were 0.162 and 5.59 ng I-TEQ/g, respectively. 1,2,3,4,6,7,8-HpCDD, OCDD, 1,2,3,4,6,7,8-HpCDF and OCDF were the most abound congeners in bottom ash while 1,2,3,4,6,7,8-HpCDF and OCDF were the most abound ones in fly ash. The PCDD/F I-TEQ contents in the bottom ash and fly ash of B were 0.00761 and 0.172 ng I-TEQ/g, respectively. OCDD、1,2,3,4,6,7,8-HpCDF and OCDF were the most abound congeners in bottom ash while 1,2,3,4,6,7,8-HpCDF and OCDF were the most abound ones in fly ash. By comparing the PCDD/F congener profiles of bottom ash and fly ash, the fraction of PCDFs of fly ash was much higher than that of bottom ash. Furthermore, the PCDD/F contents of fly ash was higher than that of bottom ash. It reveals that de novo mechanism increases the PCDD/F contents of fly ash. The removal efficiencies of PCDD/Fs by bag filters of these two secondary ALSs (A and B) were 5.94﹪and 5.88﹪, respectively. The elimination of PCDD/Fs by bag filter is very limit. The characteristics of PCDD/F emissions from local secondary ALSs, which were established in this study could be an useful information for control PCDD/Fs in the future.

The objectives of the study were to know the formation of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) from waste incineration fly ash after thermal treatment, and the effect of temperature gradient and CaO of PCDD/Fs formation. The results indicated that the total PCDD/Fs content in raw fly ash was 6.20 ng I-TEQ/g which was close to treated fly ash range from 4.33 to 7.99 ng I-TEQ/g at low temperature (50-250℃). However, the PCDD/Fs contents (371 to 741 ng I-TEQ/g) in treated fly ash was dramatically increase at the temperature higher then 300℃. In addition, mixing CaO with raw fly ash, the total PCDD/Fs content was decreased between 59.3 to 360 ng I-TEQ/g, which was a obvious inhibition efficiency. Thus, the CaO really could enhance the inhibition of PCDD/Fs formation during the thermal process.

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) includes the polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs), and polybrominated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PBDD/Fs) are known to have characteristics such as high fat solubility, low volatility, highly persistent to degradation, and can bioaccumulate into our body as it was observed through the food chain which can result to a negative impact to the human health. Through this study, it aims to investigate the association between the levels of PBDEs, PCDD/Fs, and PBDD/Fs concentrations in mother and their maternal characteristics. The period of sample collection in this study is from April 2014 to 2017. The recruitment of the participants of the study are healthy women from the gynecological clinics of local hospitals of Taiwan by which their maternal demographic characteristics and their breast milks were gathered accordingly. A total of 61 breast milk samples were collected and analyzed through a high-resolution gas chromatography/ high performance mass spectrometry (HRGC/HRMS). In this study, 14 PBDEs, 17 PCDD/Fs, and 12 PBDD/Fs congeners were analyzed. The results showed that the mean concentration of Σ14PBDEs in breast milk was 4283 ± 3976 pg / g lipid, Σ17PCDD/Fs mean toxic equivalent concentration of 2.77 ± 1.13 pg WHO-TEQ / g and Σ12 PBDD/Fs toxicity equivalent concentration of 0.117 pg WHO-TEQ / g. It was also observed that there is a significant correlation between PBDE residues in breast milk, age, BMI, body weight, and the longest period for menstrual cycle. Meanwhile, a significant correlation was observed between the PCDD/Fs toxic equivalent concentration, age, BMI, the shortest period of menstrual cycle, the longest period of menstrual cycle, and the overall period of menstrual cycle. From this study, it was found that PBDEs and PCDD/Fs in breast milk were negatively correlated with the maternal menstrual period but was not statistically significant. However, from another study involving an increase dosage of PBDEs and PCDD/Fs in mice, the result leads to a premature ovarian failure by which it suggests that the reduction of menstrual period in the epidemiological survey of this study may be associated with PBDEs and PCDD/Fs. In conclusion with our study, the concentration of PBDEs in breast milk have a tendency to increase while PCDD/Fs in breast milk may decrease as compared to the previous studies conducted involving breast milk samples in Taiwan.

Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are carcinogenic persistent organic compounds (POPs) that can bioaccumulate in the ecosystem, cause endocrines disruption and undergo long range transport in the atmosphere. Atmospheric deposition including those of dry and wet is a primary pathway for the transfer of POPs to terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. In this study, the characteristics of PCDD/Fs and PCBs in the ambient air of Tainan City were simulated by the PM10 versus PCDD/Fs concentration regression analysis, gas-particle partition modeling, dry deposition and wet deposition simulations. Dry and wet deposition fluxes were obtained from the combination of the PCDD/F and PCB concentrations, meteorological information, dry deposition velocities, and scavenging ratios. The dry deposition fluxes of PCDD/F-TEQ2005 increase with decreasing temperature, while increase with higher degree of chlorine numbers on PCDD/F homologues. However, a wet deposition flux increased with stronger rainfall intensity. From the congener profile of PCDD/F and PCB WHO2005-TEQ total deposition fluxes, 2,3,4,7,8-PeCDF, 2,3,4,6,7,8-HxCDF, 1,2,3,4,7,8-HxCDF and 1,2,3,7,8-PeCDD dominate the deposition fluxes. PCB-126 and PCB169 are two most significant congeners that dominate the PCB WHO2005-TEQ. The simulated results shows that average PCDD/F and PCB dry deposition fluxes during 2012 are 2.23-13.7 pg WHO2005-TEQ/m2-day and 0.131-0.607 pg WHO-TEQ/m2-day, respectively. The average PCDD/F and PCB dry deposition fluxes during 2013 are 2.29-15.7 pg WHO2005-TEQ/m2-day and 0.0975-0.924 pg WHO-TEQ/m2-day, respectively. The minimum simulated value occurred in summer, while the maximum dry deposition fluxes that were 4.35-5.57 times higher than the minimum values occurred in winter. Lower values observed in summer may cause by the atmospheric diffusion of SVOCs and high rainfall intensity. The monthly PCDD/F and PCB wet deposition fluxes during 2012 are in the range of 9.26-265 pg WHO2005-TEQ/m2-month and 0.205-9.38 pg WHO-TEQ/m2-month, respectively. The monthly PCDD/F and PCB wet deposition fluxes during 2013 are 0.152-211 pg WHO2005-TEQ/m2-month and 0.00823-6.84 pg WHO-TEQ/m2-month, respectively. Wet deposition mainly centralized in the high rainfall intensity seasons such as summer. Both dry and wet depositions are dominated by particulate phase. Regarding to the annual PCDD/F and PCB total (dry + wet) WHO2005-TEQ deposition fluxes, dry deposition fluxes accounts for 68.0-73.9%. Among these, PCDD/Fs dominate the total deposition (95.9-96.1%) and PCBs only contribute 3.9-4.1%. The average total PCDD/F and PCB-TEQ2005 deposition (dry + wet) flux in winter season (317-429 pg WHO-TEQ/m2-month) was 1.46-2.63 times of magnitude higher that of in summer season (163-216 pg WHO-TEQ/m2-month). The simulated results of this study combine with the previous measured data provided useful information for the future policy making and further studies. In Taiwan, more measured data associated with dry deposition velocity and wet scavenging is needed for a more precise and complete investigation in the future.

Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) are series of chlorinated aromatic homologs which are unwanted by-products generated in the processes of combustions and industrial chemical manufacturing. These compounds are extremely stable and very lipophilic, and PCDD/Fs are both considered to be highly toxic environmental contaminants. PCDD/Fs can be accumulated via the food chain and enter the human body to induce adverse health effects. Among the many PCDD/Fs isomers, there are 17 species of the 2,3,7,8-chloro substituted congeners are regarded as having the most severe toxicity. In this study, the characteristics of the toxic PCDD/Fs in tissues of different animal species are investigated and correlation ship of the results and the environment are also studied. Three animal species in range from the lower to higher levels of the food chain, such as oysters, milk fishes, and porks, were analyzed for the PCDD/Fs. The concentrations of each congener and the PCDD/Fs distribution pattern in these species were closely examined and compared with the findings in various literature. Discussions are focused on the fates of the PCDD/Fs in the animal species as well as in correlating the distribution pattern with the environment. The samples used in this study were collected in southern Taiwan. The official analytical method of Taiwan for dioxins and furans, NIEA M801.11B and the USEPA method 1613B, were employed throughout the entire analytical procedure, including sample preparation and instrument analysis. All quality control and quality assurance procedures were also strictly adhered to as described in the methods. Preparation methods included Soxhlet extraction, lipid elimination, and acidic silica gel/acidic alumina/carbon/celite column clean up procedures, and the final sample extracts were analyzed by utilizing high-resolution gas chromatography/ high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRGC/HRMS). The investigation results indicated that in addition to the total PCDD/Fs concentration, the fraction containing the highly chlorinated PCDD/Fs also showed an increasing trend from oysters, milk fish to pigs. Since porks are higher up the food chain than milk fishes and oysters, they are expected to have a higher accumulation of PCDD/Fs. The analytical data paralleled well with the expectation. However, the highly chlorinated PCDD/Fs have relative low toxicity equivalent factors compared to the less chlorinated congeners; the contribution to the toxicity in the body is less significant. Oysters are a sessile animal species; thus, the PCDD/Fs concentrations and distribution patterns found in the oyster normally reflect the contamination of the farming environment. It was also found that the PCDD/Fs distribution pattern found in the oyster samples is likely affected by the environment of Taiwan.

The objectives of the present study were to know the differences and the annual variances of the dry and wet depositions of Polychlorinated Dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and Dibenzofurans (PCDFs) between kinds of areas. A commercial suburban area, an industrial urban area, a coastal rural area and an agricultural rural area were chosen to seasonally sample the concentrations of PCDD/Fs in the atmosphere in each kind of area. Then, the dry and wet monthly deposition fluxes of PCDD/Fs were calculated from the seasonally concentrations of PCDD/Fs in the atmosphere with the dry/wet deposition models. This research indicated that the most PCDD/Fs were adsorbed on the surface of the particulates in the atmosphere. The atmospheric concentractions of PCDD/Fs in the commercial suburban area, the industrial urban area and the coastal rural area which all were located in the north Taiwan were higher in winter and lower in spring, whether those in the agricultural rural area located in the south Taiwan were higher in spring and lower in summer. For dry depositions, the dominant mechanism of the dry deposition was the particle-phase deposition. The dry deposition fluxes of PCDD/Fs in the commercial suburban area, the industrial urban area and the coastal rural area in spring and autumn were higher than those in summer and winter, though othes in the agricultural rural area were higher in spring and winter. The dry deposition fluxes of PCDD/Fs highly negative-correlated with the ambient temperatures. For wet depositions, the dominant mechanism of the wet deposition was the particle scavenging. Due to the rainy season of the plum rains, the typhoons and the eastern-north monsoons, the wet depositions fluxes of PCDD/Fs were two- or three-peaks phase distributions within monthes. The wet deposition fluxes of PCDD/Fs highly positive-correlated with the rainfall and the relative humidity, but negative-correlated with the ambient PM10 concentraction and PM10/PM2.5 ratio. For total depositions, the dry deposition was more important the the wet deposition of PCDD/Fs to total depositions, and the artificial activities influence the fluxes of total depositions of PCDD/Fs. The fluxes of total depositions of PCDD/Fs highly positive-correlated with the rainfall, however, the fluxes of total depositions of PCDD/Fs just lowly or medially correlated with the meteorological conditions.

This study investigates the characteristics of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) from emission sources and in the atmosphere. By consulting the PCDD/F inventories of other countries, 13 municipal solid waste incinerators (MSWIs), five medical waste incinerators (MWIs), four sinter plants, four electric arc furnaces (EAFs), four secondary aluminum smelters (secondary ALSs) and two crematories were chosen to investigate after considering the social and industrial activities in Taiwan. The emission factors of PCDD/Fs from the stack flue gases of these emission sources were determined and the overall PCDD/F emission quantities to the atmosphere in Taiwan is estimated. In addition, this study attempts to clarify the effects of chlorine content in the waste on the formation mechanisms of PCDD/Fs in full scale incinerators by using the principal component analysis (PCA) to compare the congener profiles of PCDD/Fs in the stack flue gases. Finally, the influence by the emission of MSWIs on the atmosphere are assessed. The conclusions of this study are summarized as follows. 1. The emission factors of PCDD/Fs from the stack flue gases of MSWIs, MWIs, sinter plants with selective catalytic reduction (SCR), sinter plants without SCR, EAFs, secondary ALSs and crematories are 0.0961、20.0、0.970、3.13、1.82、21.5 μg I-TEQ/ton-(waste or feedstock) and 9.86 μg I-TEQ/body, respectively. 2. In Taiwan, the annual emissions of PCDD/Fs from MSWIs, MWIs, sinter plants, EAFs, secondary ALSs and crematories are 0.750、0.369、44.7、19.9、9.52 and 0.838 g I-TEQ/year; the estimated total annual emission of PCDD/Fs from these six important sources is 76.1 g I-TEQ/year. Considering that it represents 60-80% of the total PCDD/F emissions, the total PCDD/F emissions into the atmosphere in Taiwan is estimated as 95.1-127 g I-TEQ/year. These results reveal that the annual emissions of PCDD/Fs from MSWIs are very minor to those of metallurgical processes since strict emission limit have been applied to MSWIs in Taiwan. 3. PCDD/Fs are indeed decomposed (75.5% and 69% on ng and ng TEQ bases, respectively) by SCR and not only reduced in degree of chlorination. 4. The indicatory PCDD/Fs of MSWIs and MWIs are OCDD, 1,2,3,4,6,7,8-HpCDD, OCDF and 1,2,3,4,7,8,9-HpCDF, 1,2,3,7,8-PeCDF, OCDF, respectively; while those of metallurgical processes are 2,3,7,8-TeCDF, 1,2,3,7,8-PeCDF and 2,3,4,7,8- PeCDF. 5. When the chlorine level in the feeding waste is below the threshold value at 0.8% - 1.1%, the formation of PCDDs dominates. While the chlorine level in the feeding waste exceeds this threshold, the rates of formation of PCDFs increase faster than those of PCDDs, probably because when PCDD/Fs are formed from PAHs, the formation rates of PCDFs are higher than those of PCDDs. 6. The PCDD/Fs concentration in the atmosphere of background area is 0.00634 pg I-TEQ/Nm3. 7. The impact of the crematories to the surrounding environment was greater than that of MSWIs because the crematory had a low stack and installed without appropriate air pollution control devices. 8. The mean PCDD/Fs concentration of air quality monitoring stations was 0.0931 pg I-TEQ/Nm3, which was close to that of maximum ground concentrations of MSWIs and 15 times higher than that of background area. It revealed that PCDD/Fs emission sources existed in southern Taiwan. 9. By using PCA, cluster analysis and indicatory PCDD/Fs, the metallurgical processes were identified as the dominating PCDD/Fs emission sources in southern Taiwan, meanwhile, the influence of mobile sources can not be ignored.

Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) and polybrominated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PBDD/Fs) are a class of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) which widely determined in environment and still raised the globally public concern. Due to their chemical and physical character, high lipophilicity and toxicity, bioaccumulation and biomagnifications caused the potential adverse effect on ecosystem and human. Breast milk is an important sample for understanding the postnatal exposure of POPs in newborn and infant. Therefore, the aim of this study is thus to investigate concentrations of PCDD/Fs and PBDD/Fs in breast milk to further assess the impact on newborn and infant via feeding breast milk. In the present study, participants were healthy pregnant women which randomly recruited from medical center of Pingtung areas in Southern Taiwan between December 2014 and June 2016. All of the participants answered questionnaires and offered their breast milk samples. Twenty five breast milk samples were measured by chemical analysis. Seventeen PCDD/Fs and twelve PBDD/Fs were analyzed with a high-resolution gas chromatograph/high-resolution mass spectrometer (HRGC/HRMS). Our result showed that mean concentration of PCDD/Fs and PBDD/Fs were 2.89±1.18 and 0.117 pg WHO2005-TEQ/g lipid, respectively. Participants education is master which PCDD/Fs levels were significant lower than those high school (p=0.008) and university (p=0.031). Low concentration of PCDD/Fs was also found in high annual income (over 1 million) participants which were significant lower than low annual income (300-600 thousand). The parameters including, Age, number of birth, BMI and live together with smoker are more important factors than consumer of food. Evaluation the daily intake (DI) of PCDD/Fs, mean concentration of DI in Taiwanese infant is 12.1 pg TEQ/kg bw/day, our result showed the similar order magnitudes of DI to those found in other countries.

Polychlorinated Dibenzo-p-dioxins and Dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) are proven as carcinogenic and mutagenic compounds, and are recognized as poisons of the century. In this study, accumulation of PCDD/Fs and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (DL-PCBs) between environmental media and fish were investigated. In addition, the dietary intake of PCDD/Fs for Taiwanese was discussed. The first part of the study includes the PCDD/F and DL-PCB levels in environmental media (water, sediment, and feed) and in farmed fish of different age. To observe the accumulation of PCDD/Fs and DL-PCBs in farmed fish, tissue samples of hatchling, 2-month, 15-month, 24-month, and 36-month-old were collected, and the samples of all the environmental media were taken right after each time fish samples were collected. PCDD/F levels in a total of 25 food items in Taiwan and the PCDD/F intake of Taiwanese were surveyed in the second part of this study. PCDD/F intake of some special population such as duck farmer who may ingest high quantity of contaminated duck eggs were also determined. The results of the first part showed that PCDD/F and DL-PCB levels in water and sediment from fish farm were lower than those from natural environment such as rivers and lakes. The discharge of farm water and rearrangement of farm land each time fish were harvested may result in low levels of PCDD/Fs and DL-PCBs in water and sediment samples. In Environmental medium, PCDD/F levels were all higher than DL-PCB levels. However, DL-PCBs were found to contribute more to the TEQ than PCDD/Fs were in all the fish samples. Both PCDD/Fs and DL-PCBs concentrations rose with the period that groupers were raised. The results in this study conclude that PCDD/Fs and DL-PCBs could accumulate in fish tissues, and diet is the main source of the accumulations. In the second part of this study, it was observed that shellfish and saltwater fish possessed the highest PCDD/Fs levels, 9.82 and 3.60 pg WHO-TEQ/g, respectively, on the lipid basis. The dietary intakes of humans at ages of 12-18, 19-64, and over 65 were determined. The estimated intake were between 21.8 (female teenagers) and 37.6 pg (male seniors) WHO-TEQ/day; the levels varied with the dietary habits. The PCDD/F intakes for all human groups are far below the tolerable limit of 70 pg WHO-TEQ/Kg b.w./month. In addition, the daily PCDD/F intake levels for duck farmers consuming average and large amounts of PCDD/F contaminated duck eggs were examined. The result shows that consuming more than one duck egg with level higher than 10 pg WHO-TEQ/g lipid of PCDD/Fs per day could lead to a PCDD/F intake level higher than the tolerable limit. However, for normal population, there is little risk to ingest intolerable amount of PCDD/Fs because of intake of contaminated duck eggs.

Taitung lies on the South East side of Taiwan; geographically, it mostly consists of mountains and a coastal stretch. It has a tropical monsoon climate, the wet season runs from May to October, while the dry season runs from November to April. The region has a high humidity and its annual average temperature ranges from 22 to 25 0C. The tropical climate in Taitung region is different in the sense that it is more foggy than sunny. The main economic activities in Taitung are farming and tourism. Because of its sparse population, lack of urbanization and industrialization, Taitung County has managed to remain a pollution free zone compared to other regions of Taiwan. As a result, it has been left out on most of the studies on air pollution in Taiwan. This study focused on the roles of meteorological factors to the ambient air concentrations and depositions of Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDDs/Fs) and particulate matters (PM2.5) in Taitung County, Taiwan. Wet and dry depositions of dioxins in the region were also quantified. The average annual PM2.5 concentrations ranged between 9.6 to 11.0 μg m-3. Taiwan applies the 2012 PM2.5 world air quality index as its standard for the EPA which is currently at 15 µg m–3. According to these standards, Taitung County did not exceed the set limits for the concentration of PM2.5 in ambient air for the entire study period. However, Guanshan station (11 µg m–3) had a higher concentration of PM2.5 compared to Taitung station (9.6 µg m–3). To quantify the concentration of dioxins in the atmosphere in Taitung County, Taiwan, a regression line relating the mass concentration of PCDDs/Fs to PM10 was plotted. Compared to other studies, the concentration of dioxins in Taitung County was lower than the other regions in Taiwan. The simulated concentration of dioxins in the atmosphere ranged between 0.0106 to 0.0117 pg WHO 2005-TEQ m–3. There was an upward trend in the concentration of the dioxins for the two years in the entire area of study concentrations in 2014 was 0.0106 while the concentration in 2015 was 0.0115 pg WHO 2005-TEQ m–3 . Temperature and atmospheric pressure were used to model the partitioning of dioxins into their gaseous and particulate phases for the four seasons of the year. Higher chlorinated dioxins (hexa-, hepta- and octa-chlorinated) were the dominant congeners in the particulate phase while the low chlorinated congeners (tetra- and penta-chlorinated dioxins) existed almost wholly in their gaseous phase. Total deposition in the Taitung County ranged between 58.2 and 189.5 pg WHO2005-TEQ m-2 month-1. Dry deposition was dominant in region compared to wet deposition and it ranged between 35.7 to 188.5 pg WHO2005-TEQ m-2 month-1 with the dry deposition velocities ranging between 0.17 and 0.52 cms-1. The average dry deposition velocity was 0.39 cms-1. Wet deposition was dependent on the number of days experiencing precipitation and it ranged between 0.39 to 30.3 pg WHO2005-TEQ m-2 month-1. The range of the scavenging ratios was between 1351 and 41197 for the entire study period.

In this study, two major aims are to prevent the polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) transfer to surrounding environment in a heavily dioxin contaminated site and to reduce the PCDD/F emission from a medical waste incinerator (MWI). First, the contents of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) were measured in soil and water impacted by a chemical factory (chloralkali and pentachlorophenol) and both the PCDD/F contents in soil (14.4 µg I-TEQ kg-1) and water (11.97 pg I-TEQ L-1) were heavily contaminated. Additionally, the PCDD/F distributions in the aquatic environment (suspended solid and dissolved phases) were investigated by performing a water tank experiment with 30 g of soil and 20 L of water. Moreover, the effects of PCDD/F distributions in water were estimated base on three soil sizes (26, 180 and 250 μm). From a mass balance perspective, the suspended solid, dissolved phase and settled soil contributed 0.07%, 0.005%, and 99.93%, respectively, with the highest amount of PCDD/F in the settled soil deserve more attention. The PCDD/F distribution in the suspended solid phase was dominant, while its distribution was independent of soil size. Additionally, placing soil with a high PCDD/F content in water increased the PCDD/F content in suspended solid phase. Moreover, the equation developed in this study can accurately predict the PCDD/F partition between the suspended solid and dissolved phases. Second, this study investigated the polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) removal efficiencies in two medical waste incinerators (MWIs) -MWI-A and MWI-B, with waste burning capacities of 9.12 and 12 tons per day, with dual-and single-bag filter systems, respectively. The PCDD/Fs in the stack flue gas and fly ashes of each air pollution control device (APCD) unit were collected concurrently. Based on mass balance, it was determined that the major PCDD/F removal occurred in the bag filter system with activated carbon injection (ACI). The total PCDD/F emission removal efficiencies for the whole dual-bag filter system, bag filter 1 (BF1), bag filter 2 (BF2) in MWI-A and the single bag filter system (BF) in MWI-B were 99.7%, 84.8%, 98.0%, 99.0% on the mass basis, respectively. The PCDD/F emission ratio (the escaped PCDD/F ratio after all APCDs) with the dual-bag filter system was over four times lower than that with a single bag filter. The results demonstrate a very efficient way to reduce the excess PCDD/F emissions incurred by intermittent operations and irregular waste feeding.

Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) are carcinogenic persistent organic pollutants (POPs) that can bioaccumulate in the ecosystem, cause endocrines disruption and undergo long range transport in the atmosphere. Atmospheric deposition including those of dry and wet is a primary pathway for the transfer of POPs to terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. In this study, the characteristics of PCDD/Fs in the ambient air at Mt. Yangming were simulated by the PM10 versus PCDD/Fs concentration regression analysis, gas-particle partition modeling, dry deposition, and wet deposition simulations. Dry and wet deposition fluxes were obtained from the combination of the PCDD/F concentrations, meteorological information, dry deposition velocities, and scavenging ratios. The dry deposition fluxes of PCDD/F-WHO2005-TEQ increase with decreasing temperature, while increase with higher degree of chlorine numbers on PCDD/F homologues. However, a wet deposition flux increase with stronger rainfall intensity. The congener profile of PCDD/F-WHO2005-TEQ indicates that total deposition fluxes, 2,3,4,6,7,8-HxCDF, 2,3,4,7,8-PeCDF dominate the deposition fluxes. The simulated PCDD/F concentration during 2014, at Yangming, ranged between 0.00725 and 0.0176 pg WHO2005-TEQ /Nm3, while those during 2015 ranged between 0.00761 and 0.0162 pg WHO2005-TEQ /Nm3. WHO2005-TEQ ratios of PCDDs to PCDFs at both year are all less than 1 (averaged 0.407), indicating that PCDF dominate the total toxicity. During 2014, at Yangming, the monthly dry deposition flux of total PCDD/Fs-WHO2005-TEQ ranged between 9.63 and 91.7 pg WHO2005-TEQ /m2 ∙month, while those during 2015 ranged between 12.2 and 61.0 pg WHO2005-TEQ /m2 ∙month. At the other hand, during 2014, at Yangming, the monthly wet deposition flux of total PCDD/Fs-WHO2005-TEQ ranged between 6.29 and 138.3 pg WHO2005-TEQ /m2 ∙month, while those during 2015 ranged between 4.95 and 79.3 pg WHO2005-TEQ /m2 ∙month. The annual total wet deposition flux of total PCDD/Fs- WHO2005-TEQ concentration at Yangming were 637.3 and 511.1 pg WHO2005-TEQ /m2 ∙year in 2014 and 2015, respectively. During 2014, at Yangming, the monthly total deposition flux of total (dry + wet) PCDD/Fs-WHO2005-TEQ ranged between 34.4 and 178.0 pg WHO2005-TEQ /m2 ∙month, while those during 2015 ranged between 28.1 and 119.1 pg WHO2005-TEQ /m2 ∙month. The annual total deposition flux of total PCDD/Fs-WHO2005-TEQ at Yangming were 969.7 and 803.6 pg WHO2005-TEQ /m2 ∙year in 2014 and 2015, respectively. At Yangming, during 2014, the fraction contribute by dry deposition ranged between 10.9% and 81.7%, while during 2015 ranged between 16.4% and 82.4%. Mean fraction contribute by dry deposition at Yangming were 35.7% and 39.2% in 2014 and 2015, respectively. The lowest fraction of individual PCDD/Fs dry deposition in total (dry + wet) deposition fluxes was found in fall in both years. It may be due to high rainfall intensity occurred in fall and also the day with precipitation were more in fall. The simulated results of this study combine with the previous measured data provided useful information for the future policy making and further studies. In Taiwan, more measured data associated with dry deposition velocity and wet scavenging is needed for a more precise and complete investigation in the future.

The objectives of the present study were to develop (1) emission factors of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDD) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDF) for various industrial sources which seldom being investigated; (2) the overall PCDD/F emission inventory in Taiwan as well as in the KC area; (3) correlation between banyan leaf compositions and ambient air concentration of PCDD/Fs; (4) dry and wet deposition fluxes of PCDD/Fs in the ambient air of two municipal solid waste incinerators (MSWIs); and (5) to clarify the influence of deposition on the soil content of PCDD/Fs. To achieve these goals, a total of 51 flue gas samples from seventeen industrial sources were collected to develop emission factors. In addition, a total of 95 flue gas samples from 20 sources including coal-fired power plants, open burning of rice straw, wax apples, and ritual paper, and diesel engines et al., were collected and analyzed for 17 PCDD/Fs to develop emission inventory. Furthermore, a total of 56 samples for each environment media including air, vegetation, and soil, were collected from the environment media of two MSWIs to establish atmospheric level and to estimate deposition fluxes. The results of this study show that mean PCDD/F concentration of the secondary zinc smelter (Zn-S) and secondary copper smelter (Cu-S) is 2.44 ng I-TEQ Nm-3 (at 11% O2), which was found to be greater than that of industrial waste incinerators (mean concentration = 0.15 ng I-TEQ Nm-3). These results imply that the controlling of secondary metallic melting processes is more important for the reduction of PCDD/F emissions than industrial waste incineration. In addition, the emission factor of PCDD/Fs from coal-fired power plants (620 ng I-TEQ ton-1) obtained in this study is greatly higher than the value of previous study (2.34 ng I-TEQ ton-1). It means that in Taiwan the air pollution control devices for PCDD/F removal in certain power plants need to be more efficient. The emission data showed that there is a total annual release to air of 6.1 and 95 g I-TEQ from major sources in the KC area and Taiwan, respectively. The dominant sources of PCDD/Fs in the KC area are the coal-fired power plants, secondary aluminum smelting, electric arc furnaces, and open burning of rice straw, which contributed about 56, 17, 13, and 3.3% to the total, respectively. However, in Taiwan, the dominant sources of PCDD/Fs are the iron ore sintering, coal-fired power plants, electric arc furnaces, and open burning of rice straw, which contributed about 32, 28, 23, and 8.1% to the total, respectively. Furthermore, there is a good correlation between banyan leaf compositions and ambient air concentration of PCDD/Fs using an average data of individual measurement for each sampling location. This implies that an ambient data for long period monitoring (longer than three months) can be used to predict the composition in vegetation. In the vicinity of MSWI-GS and MSWI-RW, the annual deposition fluxes of PCDD/Fs are about 8.59 and 10.1 ng I-TEQ m-2 year-1, respectively, and wet deposition contributed 42% and 34% to the total, respectively, it reveals that dry deposition is more important than wet deposition. Finally, the dominant congeners of PCDD/Fs in ambient air of MSWIs removed by dry and wet deposition are very similar to that of soil in the vicinity of MSWIs, but some congeners removed by deposition disappeared in the soil, especially the congeners with lower chlorine number. This can be explained as vaporization, biodegradation or photodecomposition. The results of this study showed that coal-fired power plants are very significant sources of PCDD/Fs, the results also provide important database to assist the decision makers for formulating policies to alleviate dioxin concerns.

Seven fly ash solidification plants and its 43 workers were selected as study subjects. The airborne of PCDD/Fs in the working environment among three plants and serum of workers were collected to measure PCDD/Fs levels. The biochemistry and hormones examinations of 43 workers had been measured. Information obtained from the questionnaire including personal characteristics (sex, age, height, weight, neighborhood geography, etc.), life style (alcohol intake and tobacco usage), occupational history (working histories related to electric arc furnaces, working environment, job titles, working period, and usage of protected equipment, etc.). All the results were integrated to conduct the PCDD/Fs exposure assessment of workers in the fly ash solidification plant. WHO-TEQ Concentrations of PCDD/Fs of air samples in solidificated product storage area and treatment area of A, C, D plants are 0.236, 0.085, 0.078 pg WHO98-TEQDF /Nm3 and 0.211, 0.086, 0.115 pg WHO98-TEQDF /Nm3 respectively. which are higher than those in ambient air, but lower than those in metal smelting industries. Among 17 PCDD/F congeners, the 2,3,4,7,8-PeCDF were the main congener. High and low exposure groups are divided by the job titles and exposure scenario. The workers who worked in the storage and treatment area were assigned as high exposure group, the maintenance, management workers and the officers were assigned as low exposure groups. Mean and range of TEQ concentrations of PCDD/Fs in serum sample at high and low exposure groups are 12.3 (6.6-23.9) and 8.6 (5.1-12.8) pg WHO98-TEQDF/g lipid, respectively. Significant difference was found between two groups. Higher serum level of 2,3,4,7,8-PeCDF, 1,2,3,6,7,8-HxCDF, 2,3,4,6,7,8-HxCDF, 1,2,3,7,8-PeCDD, 1,2,3,6,7,8-HxCDD in the high exposure group were found and the pattern was the same as the air samples. The serum PCDD/F levels were significantly correlated with age. Higher abnormal rate of cholesterol, triglyceride, albumin, total protein and testosterone were found in both high and low exposure groups. After integrating the congener patterns of serum and airborne PCDD/Fs, the data shows that the serum PCDD/Fs of high exposure group may be affected by the airborne PCDD/Fs of working environment. The usage of personal protective measures was suggested to effectively reduce the concentrations of serum PCDD/Fs in the high exposure workers. It is also suggested that regular health examination of workers should be implemented each year.

Polychlorinated Dibenzo-p-dioxins, dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are the main compounds of persistent organic pollutants (POPs). PCDD/Fs and PCBs both have high toxicity, low median lethal dosage (LD50). PCDD/Fs and PCBs in atmosphere were easily transferred into ecosystem by dry and wet deposition, and cause biomagnification and bioconcentration. The main sources of PCDD/Fs and PCBs in environment include waste incineration, power generation, energy industry, mental smelting and some chemical industry. In this study, we focused on the removal efficiencies of PCDD/Fs and PCBs using air pollution control techniques, such as semi-dry sorbent injection, activated carbon injection, and fabric filter in the stack flue gases of municipal solid wastes incinerator (MSWI). In this study, the removal efficiency of particles for semi-dry sorbent injection, activated carbon injection and fabric filter, whole air pollution control devices were 39.8%, 97.35% and 98.25%, respectively. The removal efficiency of total-PCDD/Fs-TEQ for semi-dry sorbent injection, activated carbon injection and fabric filter, whole air pollution control devices were 30.65%, 99.0% and 99.35%, respectively. According to PCDD/Fs congener profiles, OCDD and 1,2,3,4,6,7,8-HpCDD were highly dominant in PCDDs parts, OCDF and 1,2,3,4,6,7,8-HpCDF were mainly in PCDFs parts in stack flue gas. The removal efficiency of total-PCBs-TEQ for semi-dry sorbent injection, activated carbon injection and fabric filter, whole air pollution control devices were 41.55%, 95.9% and 97.85%, respectively. According to PCBs congener profiles, PCB-77 was main species, followed by PCB-118 in stack flue gas. The results of removal efficiency in this study can compared with others incinerators, and develop relevant strategies to reduce the emission of PCDD/Fs and PCBs during incineration process.

The characteristics of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) in ambient air, water and sediment from the surrounding locations of a constructing municipal solid waste incineration plant(MSWI) in rural areas(Y) were investigated. Additionally, we used the USEPA ISCST Model to predict the PCDD/F concentration in ambient air, and assessed the health risk of inhabitants through air and water. The conclusions of this study are summarized as follows: 1. The PCDD/F concentration in the atmosphere of Y area are between 0.427 and 32.4 pg/Nm3, and mean were 6.43 pg/Nm3. The toxic equivalency (TEQ) concentration in the atmosphere of PCDD/Fs were from 0.0244 to 0.493 pg I-TEQ/Nm3 with a mean value of 0.205 pg I-TEQ/Nm3. 2. The percentage of PCDD/Fs particle-bound concentration in the atmosphere ranged from 84.8% to 96.1%. 3. The PCDD/F concentration(TEQ) in river and tap-water were from 0.00647 to 0.146 pg I-TEQ/L (mean=0.0307 pg I-TEQ/L) and from 0.00141 to 0.00659 pg I-TEQ/L (mean=0.00370 pg I-TEQ/L), respectively. 4. The PCDD/Fs content(TEQ) in sediment samples of three sampling sites in four seasons ranged from 0.0786 to 1.87 pg I-TEQ/g, and the mean were 0.692 pg I-TEQ/g. 5. Simulation with ISCST Model revealed that the increment of PCDD/F concentration in ambient air and tap-water would be 1.59 fg I-TEQ/m3(maximun) and 1.24 fg I-TEQ/L(maximun), respectively after the operation of MSWI. 6. Health risk assessment revealed that the value of the maximum cancer risk of a person in the average life-time(70 years) was 2.53×10-6, which were still lower than the limiting value (1×10-5) of risk management.

Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins/dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) did cause adverse health effects. However, PCDD/F emissions from burning incenses and joss papers in temples have seldom been addressed. Therefore, this study investigated PCDD/F and metal emissions from burning incenses in four temples (M, T, F and H) in south Taiwan. There were four sampling sites in temple M. Sites I-A and I-B were located inside the temple. The third sampling site was at the temple entrance (Site O). Site E was regarded to the environmental background. PCDD/F and metal samples were collected from stack flue gas of the furnace in temple T, F and H. PCDD/F emissions and profiles from burning joss paper in a temple H furnace were examined, and PCDD/F removals by two wet scrubbers was assessed. The results show that the PCDD/F emissions from burning incenses in temple M. It is found that the mean total PCDD/F concentrations reached 72.4–82.2 pg Nm-3 at two indoor sites, and their corresponding mean total PCDD/Fs I-TEQ concentrations (0.24–0.27 pg I-TEQ Nm-3) were ~11 times that of an environmental background location. For the air samples collected from burning incenses, the OCDF accounted for ~90% of total PCDD/Fs at the two indoor sites and the outdoor site near the temple, while the major PCDD/Fs in incense ashes were PCDDs. The total PCDD/F content and toxic equivalent value of incense ashes were 617 ng kg1 and 1.55 ng I-TEQ kg1, respectively. At the three sites inside/outside the temple, the air and ash samples exhibited the same four primary PCDD/Fs (OCDD, 1,2,3,4,6,7,8-HpCDD, OCDF and 1,2,3,4,6,7,8-HpCDF). The Cl emission factor (related to the PCDD/F formation) from burning incenses was 0.454 mg g1. The resultant lifetime average daily dose and excess cancer risk for the temple workers (0.00570 pg I-TEQ d-1 kg-1 and 5.70×10-6, respectively) were approximately two times that for residents near the temple (0.00330 pg I-TEQ d-1 kg-1 and 3.30×10-6, respectively). We strongly suggest that the chlorine content in incense must be regulated, and the high risk of PCDD/F exposure from burning incense for temple workers and visitors should be concerned. A popular temple equipped with a mid-size furnace (denoted as Temple T) and a small-size one located in a rural area (denoted as Temple F) were investigated. It was found that the mean total I-TEQ contents in the original (unburned) joss paper from Furnaces 1 and 2 were 1.41 and 4.51 ng I-TEQ kg-1, respectively. The mean total I-TEQ content in the residue of burned joss paper from Furnace 1 (7.97 ng I-TEQ kg-1) was approximately 15-fold that of Furnace 2 (0.490 ng I-TEQ kg-1). OCDD was the most abundant congener in the joss paper and in the residues from burned joss paper. Moreover, the emission factor of total PCDD/Fs I-TEQ content of Furnace 1 (176 μg I-TEQ Ton-feedstock-1) was one to two orders of magnitude higher than that of Furnace 2 (20.3 μg I-TEQ Ton-feedstock-1). This phenomenon is probably associated with the high chlorine content in the unburned joss paper of Furnace 1, and high exhaust temperature from burning joss paper in Furnace 1 (271 oC) was possibly within a range that might highly promote PCDD/F formation by de novo reaction. It is necessary for the investigated furnaces to install air pollution control devices in order to reduce the PCDD/F emissions from joss paper burning. Temple H furnace connected two wet scrubbers. The mean total PCDD/F content and corresponding toxic equivalent quantity (TEQ) in joss paper were 193 ng kg1 and 0.645 ng I-TEQ kg1, respectively, whereas those in bottom ash from burned joss paper were 18.5 ng kg-1 and 1.92 ng I-TEQ kg-1, respectively. The wet scrubbers decreased individual PCDD/F emissions by 26.7–71.0% and those of total PCDD/Fs and I-TEQ by 47.2% and 66.0%, respectively. The total PCDD/F I-TEQ emission factors before and after the wet scrubbers were 8.14 and 3.42 μg I-TEQ ton-feedstock-1, respectively. The estimated total PCDD/F and corresponding TEQ emissions were 6.39 g year-1 and 0.651 g I-TEQ year-1, respectively, in Taiwan. Burning joss paper in temple furnaces is a significant source of PCDD/F emissions. Although the wet scrubbers reduced PCDD/F emissions from burning joss paper, their PCDD/F removal efficiencies must be improved. Other devices for controlling air pollution with enhanced PCDD/F removal efficiencies are required for temples in which joss paper is burned frequently. Thus, based on their toxic effects, PCDD/F emissions from burning joss paper are a health concern in Taiwan. We suggest that air pollutant control devices are necessary for the temples in which joss paper is burned frequently to reduce harmful emissions that adversely affect resident health.

Taiwan, surrounded by oceans, is located at the boundary of Asian continent and Pacific Ocean. The polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) in the fine particulates, such as PM2.5-10 and PM2.5, in the Southern Taiwan coastal atmosphere are possibly originated not only from local combustion sources but also from anthropogenic emissions in distant areas due to the susceptible long-range transport of fine particulates. This study investigated the PCDD/F characteristics in coarse (PM2.5-10) and fine (PM2.5) particles in the Southern Taiwan coastal atmosphere by using a dichotomous sampler in the seashore near the National Museum of Marine Biology Aquarium (NMMBA) at Checheng Township in Pingtung County during March and April, 2014. Furthermore, backward trajectory analysis was conducted to estimate the most likely central path from the origin of the air mass to the sampling site during the sampling period. The results showed that the concentrations of PM2.5 were slightly higher than those of PM2.5-10 (PM2.5/PM10 = 0.54±0.10). The PCDD/F toxicity in PM10 was mostly distributed in PM2.5 particles. Through backward trajectory analysis, we found that that the PM10, PM2.5-10 and PM2.5 in the atmosphere of the sampling site was mainly influenced by the air mass over Japan and Korea, followed by that over inland and coast areas of China, and least by that over the Pacific ocean. The PCDD/F congeners in PM2.5 were dominated by octa (OCDD and OCDF) and hepta (1,2,3,4,6,7,8-HpCDD, 1,2,3,4,6,7,8-HpCDF, and 1,2,3,4,7,8,9-HpCDF) chlorinated PCDD/Fs, while octa (OCDD and OCDF) and hepta (1,2,3,4,6,7,8-HpCDD and 1,2,3,4,6,7,8-HpCDF) chlorinated PCDD/Fs were the dominant congeners in PM2.5-10.

The objective of this study was to conduct by adding the inorganic and organic chloride sources into fly ashes in a packed bed reactor under real flue gas conditions to simulate the formation of PCDD/Fs in the filter cake zone. The contributions of toxicities and the phases transformation were the focuses of this study. When 0.01 wt %, 0.1 wt % and 50 ppb HgCl2 by vaporing were added onto the fly ash medium has significantly enhancement for the PCDD/Fs in the residue phase, and OCDD was predominant congener species of PCDD/Fs in the residue and gas phases. The results of adding HgCl2 has no transformation effect on the formation of PCDD/Fs in the residue and gas phases. Using mixed precursors (DF+ CuCl2, HgCl2+PCP), the concentrations of PCDD/Fs were higher than those of a single precursor. The results showed the effect of the additive in forming PCDD/Fs were obvious. The comparison of chlorine content of inorganic chlorine sources (FeCl2, ZnCl2, CuCl2, CaCl2, HgCl2) for PCDD/Fs formation potential, the results showed that the formation of PCDD/Fs was significantly increased by HgCl2. Furthermore, comparison of chlorine content of organic chlorine sources for PCDD/Fs formation potential, the results showed that the formation of PCDD/Fs by PCP was higher than TCP. The principal component analysis (PCA) used to compare the congener profiles of PCDD/Fs in all all experimental data. The results of PCA showed the existence of a group of highly correlated variables, corresponding to all formation experiments except mixed precursors experiment (FA+DF+ CuCl2). In addition, PCDD/Fs emissions in flue gas from three stationary sources in industrial park were investigated. The results showed that the total PCDD/Fs I-TEQ concentrations from three stationary sources were lower than the PCDD/F emissions standard. The result of four sampling points near the industrial park which selected to monitor the spread of PCDD/Fs in ambient air has shown that the PCDD/Fs I-TEQ concentration was lower than the air quality standard for PCDD/Fs in Japan (0.6 pg I-TEQ/m3). Moreover, this study used the ISCST3 model to simulate the average atmosphere concentration in the neighboring areas of three stationary sources, the results showed that the maximum hour concentration occurs in the vicinity of CSS sources. Consider the worst situation to assess the risk, the result revealed that it does not harm to human health and environmental impacts. The results of this study suggest that the use of metal-containing substances or chlorination precursors should be to avoid in the combustion process.

The objective of this study was to determine the concentrations of PCDD/Fs in the blood of operation workers, the concentrations of PCDD/Fs in the air of working environment, the association between serum levels of workers and health index and to calculate the carcinogenic risk of workers in secondary aluminum smelter. There were 44 blood samples and 4 air samples collected in this study. The highest TEQ concentration of airborne PCDD/Fs was sampled in the operation area at plant A, and the lowest was in picking area at plant B. All the TEQ concentrations of airborne PCDD/Fs are higher than the ambient levels around the plant. The distribution ratios of gas/particle data showed the PCDD/Fs concentrations of particle phase was higher than gas phase. The TEQ concentration of serum PCDD/Fs of all workers(21.9 pg-WHO-TEQDF/g-lipid) is higher than that of general population in Taiwan. All workers were grouped to high and low exposure groups by the median of serum PCDD/Fs. The TEQ concentrations of the two exposure groups were both higher than those of general population with the same age. There are no significantly statistical differences of blood biochemistry, hormone, and immunological index between two groups beside total protein, total bilirubin and T3. The average serum PCDD/Fs concentration was 29.1 and 15.1 pg-WHO-TEQDF/g-lipid in high and low exposure groups respectively. The dominating homologue of PCDD/Fs in blood and air samples are both PeCDFs and HxCDFs, it meant that the workers were potentially exposed to higher concentration of PCDD/Fs emitted from secondary aluminum plant. Otherwise, the concentrations of serum PCDD/Fs were highly correlated with seniority. The lifetime average daily dose (LADD) of workers were met the range of WHO daily tolerance doses. In conclusion, the workers were potentially exposed to higher concentration of PCDD/Fs emitted from secondary aluminum plant. The usage of effective personal protective measures was suggested to reduce the concentrations of serum PCDD/Fs.

The characteristics of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) and the variation of the gas-particle partitioning of PCDD/Fs near two municipal solid waste incinerators (MSWIs) located in southern Taiwan were investigated. In order to better understand the mechanism of dry deposition, the atmospheric dry deposition flux and velocity of PCDD/Fs were calculated. It was found that the mean atmospheric PCDD/F concentrations (0.0348-0.106 pg I-TEQ/Nm3) were comparable to those detected in the vicinity of MSWIs in Taiwan, but significantly lower than those in a highly industrialized urban area (0.150 pg I-TEQ/Nm3) located in southern Taiwan. The relatively higher atmospheric PCDD/F concentrations was found in winter than in summer. The calculated total dry deposition flux of PCDD/Fs ranged from 0.0274-0.718 ng I-TEQ/m2-month, and the atmospheric deposition flux in winter tended to be higher than those in summer. The results also indicated that dry deposition velocities of atmospheric particles for each month ranged from 0.52-0.91 cm/s (mean = 0.63 cm/s) and 0.48-0.73 cm/s (mean = 0.55 cm/s) in sites A and B, respectively, which were similar to that for the ambient air near two MSWIs in Taiwan, but slightly higher than those in urban area of Korea. In addition, the dry deposition of PCDD/Fs was mainly contributed by particle-phase at both sampling areas during the estimated period. The above results demonstrated that the dominant mechanism of dry deposition was particle phase deposition. The annual variations of wet deposition of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) in atmosphere were also measured at two sites (A and B). Results showed that particle scavenging dominates in the wet deposition processes for the removal of PCDD/Fs from the atmosphere, the highest value was observed at the highest chlorinated congener. The ambient temperature and the amount of precipitation played an important role in the variation of PCDD/F deposition fluxes. It was found that temperature was inversely associated with the existence of particulate PCDD/Fs, indicating PCDD/Fs are scavenged most efficiently in cold weather. PCDD/F wet deposition fluxes in rainy seasons (from June to August) were significantly higher than those in dry seasons (from December to February), revealing a positive relationship between wet deposition flux and monthly rainfall. Additionally, the annual total (dry + wet) deposition fluxes of PCDD/Fs were 149 ng/m2-year (5.02 ng I-TEQ/m2-year) and 177 ng/m2-year (5.11 ng I-TEQ/m2-year) for sites A and B, respectively, revealing that dry deposition was more dominant than the wet deposition for the atmospheric deposition of PCDD/Fs. Since atmospheric deposition is believed to be the main transfer pathway of PCDD/Fs into food chains, its impact on human exposure to PCDD/Fs is of great importance.

Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are important persistent organic pollutants. They were reported to cause reproductive and developmental effects in human and the infant is more vulnerable than the adult. Over 90% of human exposure to PCDD/PCDF/PCBs is due to food consumption. In Taiwan, less than 30% of mothers breast-feed their babies. For those infants without breast-feeding, the baby formula is their major exposure source. The objectives of this study are to measure the concentrations of 7 PCDD, 10 PCDF, and 12 dioxin-like PCB congeners in the major baby formulas consumed in Taiwan and to assess the first 6-month exposure of PCDD/PCDF/PCBs from baby formulas consumption for infants. The list of top-ten baby formula products was obtained by questionnaires answered by nursing mothers. The 17 PCDD/PCDF and 12 dioxin-like PCB congeners are analyzed according to the US EPA Method 1613B and 1668A, respectively, using high-resolution gas chromatography with high-resolution mass spectrometry. The mean toxic equivalent concentrations of PCDD/PCDFs and dioxin-like PCBs for these baby formula products were 0.73(±0.18) and 0.33(±0.05) pg WHO98-TEQ/g-lipid, respectively. The first 6-month exposure to PCDD/PCDFs and dioxin-like PCBs for infants via formula consumption are 19 and 9 pg WHO98-TEQ/day, respectively. These are equal to 2.5 and 1.5 pg WHO98-TEQ/kg/day, respectively. The accumulated intake of PCDD/PCDFs and dioxin-like PCBs in the 6-month period are 3.3 and 1.6 ng WHO98-TEQ, respectively.
