TI  - Assessment of the emission of PCDD/Fs and dioxin-like PCBs from an industrial 
      area over a nearby town using a selective wind direction sampling device.

AB  - The development of new sampling devices or strategies to assess the concentration 
      of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in the environment has increased in the 
      last two decades. In this study, a selective sampling device was used to evaluate 
      the impact of potential local sources of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin and 
      dibenzofuran (PCDD/Fs) and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyl (dl-PCBs) 
      emissions on the ambient air levels of such compounds in a town near an important 
      industrial estate. Average concentrations of target compounds of up to 2.5 times 
      for PCDD/Fs and 2 times for dl-PCBs were found to come from the industrial state 
      confirming this area as the main responsible for the majority of such compounds 
      reaching the town. This finding was supported by a PCDD/F and dl-PCB sample 
      profile analysis and a principal component analysis (PCA), which established a 
      direct link between the dioxin-like compounds found in the samples collected in 
      the town and their source.
