ABSTRACT
Eye protection equipment must be worn while working with exposed samples or pure analytical standards. The use of highly sophisticated GC with specific and sensitive detector is required for the identification and analysis of Dioxins and Furans, which are present in very low concentration. Methods used to prepare environmental samples are similar to those used for biological samples: organic solvent extraction of Dioxins and Furans from the sample and concentration, clean up, and fractionation of the Dioxins using evaporative and column chromatography techniques. All glassware required for analyzing Dioxins/Furans are scrupulously cleaned before initial use as well as after each analysis. Protective equipment-Disposable plastic gloves, apron or lab coat, safety glasses or mask, and a glove box or fume hood adequate for radioactive work should be used. All the equipments, glassware used for sampling, storage, extraction, and analysis must be free of all the interferences/impurities.
