AB  - A method for the estimation of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin and furan 
      (PCCD/F) toxicity equivalent quotient (TEQ) of soil and sediment matrices is 
      described. The method includes extraction, isolation of the PCDD/Fs from 
      interfering compounds, such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polycyclic 
      aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and measurement of PCDD/F using the PROCEPT aryl 
      hydrocarbon (AhR) receptor based polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay. The 
      values obtained using the PROCEPT assay correlate well with reference TEQ values 
      generated from gas chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (GC-HRMS), 
      with a linearity coefficient (R(2)) of 0.94. Applied in a screening mode at 
      50pg/g PCDD/F TEQ, the PROCEPT assay yielded five false positive results (2.6%) 
      and no false negative results for 196 analyses of spiked soils and environmental 
      samples obtained from US EPA Superfund sites.
