AB  - Control of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans 
      (PCDD/Fs) in emissions and thermal residues from incinerators has been a cause of 
      public concern for more than one decade. Recently, several studies showed that 
      other persistent organic pollutants (POPs) such as coplanar polychlorinated 
      biphenyls (co-PCBs) also have dioxin-like activity and are released from 
      incinerators. Therefore, the present study was aimed at making a risk assessment 
      about dioxin-like activity in extracts of thermal waste residues (e.g. combustion 
      gas; fly ash, slag) from incineration and melting processes in Germany and Japan. 
      For this purpose, polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated 
      dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs), coplanar polychlorinated biphenyls (co-PCBs), 
      polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs) and polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were 
      analyzed by chemical analysis. Additionally, 2, 3, 7, 8-TCDD equivalents 
      (EROD-TEQs) were determined by in vitro Micro-EROD bioassay using rat H4IIE 
      hepatoma cells. EROD-TEQs could be correlated to I-TEQ values (from 
      PCDD/Fs/co-PCBs) analyzed by chemical analysis resulting in a maximal sixfold 
      higher estimate. Our study indicates minor influences of co-PCBs, PAHs and PCNs 
      to the sum of dioxin-like toxicity in the extracts of thermal waste residues as 
      determined here. Furthermore, we showed that the levels of dioxins and co-PCBs 
      contained in slag from melting processes and bottom ashes from incineration 
      processes were lower by 1-2 orders of magnitude than that in fly ash.
