Abstract
The polychlorinated dioxins (PCDDs) and dibenzofurans (PCDFs) are two series of tricyclic aromatic compounds with similar chemical, physical, biological, and toxicological properties. The basic structures and numbering are given below:
The number of chlorine atoms can vary between one and eight, and the number of positional isomers is quite large; in all there are 75 PCDDs and 135 PCDFs.
