Bromo- and bromochloro-polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, dioxins and dibenzofurans in municipal incinerator fly ash.
A fly ash sample found to contain polychlorinated dioxins and dibenzofurans was analyzed for brominated analytes. Bromochloro-polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, dioxins and dibenzofurans, as well as bromo PAH were found in ppt to ppb concentrations. Analytical results were confirmed by high-resolution mass spectrometric accurate mass determinations and by tandem mass spectrometry.
