IntroductionRelevance of isomer specific analysis of T4CDD/F-OCDD/F Due to the high toxicity of PCDD/F substituted in 2,3,7,8-position, a lot of attention was paid to the isomer specific analysis of tetra- to octachlorinated DD/DF in the last two decades. Since, exclusively, the congeners substituted in all four 2,3,7,8-position exhibit the dioxin related toxicity, lower chlorinated congeners were not assigned with TEQ values and, therefore, not a lot of attention was paid to them.
IntroductionIsomer specific analysis of low chlorinated DD/F The analysis of low chlorinated isomers seems interesting from several points of view: ·For the investigation of the mechanisms of PCDD/F formation/degradation, the low chlorinated compounds offer valuable additional information.
For on-line measurement of PCDD/F in waste incineration, some recent research projects focused on estimating TEQ values by measurement of low chlorinated PCDD/F as indicator compound. To establish this correlation, it seems important to measure not only the total amount of the low chlorinated homologues but to calculate and correlate specific isomers.
Furthermore, the low chlorinated DD/F may give valuable information for environmental samples. The analysis of isomer distributions in environmental samples is the key to estimating the origin of dioxins and related compounds. (Also in this field, many data are published for T4CDD/F-OCDD/F, however, insufficient data are available for mono- to tri-chlorinated dioxin/furan.)
GC/MS Analysis.The analysis was carried out using an HP 5890 II gas chromatograph connected to a JMS-700 mass spectrometer (JEOL Ltd. Japan) (operating at a resolution >10 000).

Roland Weber pointed out before, that the 2,7-D is not single authentic standard. (2,7-D contains 2,8-D as impurity, and can not separate) As for 2,7-D2CDD, Basically the position is 2,7-D should be presented as an unknown ratio mixture of the two compounds 2,7-/2,8-D .

But, I believe the poor peak shape of my standard for 2,3-DCDD has lead to an poor assignment. I have 2,7 and 2,3 in my 13C standards and have not gotten the poor peak shape from them. I believe that the toluene or other solvent must be causing you a problem. In my standard which do not have toluene 2,7 comes out before 2,3. The first two traces are the 252/254 of the native DCDD. The second two traces are the 264/266 of the 13C DCDD. The current GC/MS that I am using is Low Res. Therefore the 13C 2,8-DCDF causes me not to be able to see 1,4-DCDD.
Basically the low chlorinated PCDD/PCDF can be analysed together with T4CDDF-OCDD/F. Behavior on Alumina column. Low chlorinated isomers may be oxidized during extensive Sulfuric acid treatment.
