Air Sampling of Polychlorinated Dibenzodioxins, Polychlorinated Dibenzofurans, and Polychlorinated Biphenyls Arnold AFS, Tennessee.

Abstract

The 4960 ABS/SGPE, Arnold AFS TN requested USAFOEHL determine if office areas adjacent to the tunnel 'F' polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) fire of March 1984 exceeded occupational exposure levels for PCBs and its decomposition products. This report explains how USAFOEHL determined ambient levels of polychlorinated dibenzodioxins (PCDDs), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs), and PCBs at Arnold AFS. The PCDDs and PCDFs of interest included 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxin (TCDD) and 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzofuran (TCDF) as well as tetra through octa chlorinated congener classes of dioxins and furans.
