Abstract

In Vietnam, polychlorinated dibenzo para-dioxins (PCDD) và polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDF) have two primary source emissions, including Viet Nam War and waste discharges from the manufacturing industry. Especially with the old techniques in manufacturing in VietNam, monitoring and controlling emission sources to the environment is very important. In this paper, the toxicology, toxic equivalent factors (TEF), and the formulas to calculate the toxic equivalent quantity (TEQ) of PCDD/PCDF were illustrated and discussed in detail. Next, the analytical methods methodology and the trend in developing advantages were mentioned. Finally, analytical data with the risk to the environmental health of humans in Vietnam was illustrated.
