PCDD/PCDF Quantification and Calculations

The PCDD/PCDF isomers were quantified by comparison of their responses to the responses of the labeled internal standards. Relative response factors were calculated from analyses of standard mixtures containing representatives of each of the PCDD/PCDF congener classes at five concentration levels, and each of the internal standards at one concentration level, as shown in . Table 4. The PCDD/PCDF response factors were calculated by comparing the sum of the responses from the two ion masses monitored for each chlorine congener class to the sum of the responses from the two ion masses of the corresponding isotopically labeled internal standard. The formula for the response factor calculation is:

An X Qis Rf = Ais X Qn

where:

Rf = Response factor An = Sum of integrated areas for native isomer Qis = Quantity of labeled internal standard ' Ais = Sum of integrated areas for labeled internal standard , Qn = Quantity of native isomer

The levels of PCDD/PCDF in each sample were quantified using the following equation:

An X Qis C = Ais X W X Rf where:

C = Concentration of target isomer or congener class An = Sum of integrated areas for the target isomer or congener class Qis = Quantity of labeled internal standard added to the sample Ais = Sum of integrated areas for the labeled internal standard W = Sample amount Rf = Response factor
