Evaluation of the Most Current and Effective Methods in the Analysis of Chlorinated Dioxins in Ground Beef

The Scientific World Journal, 2003
Chlorinated dioxins are the group of environmental pollutants consisting of 210 chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans. They are highly toxic and persistent. They are lipophilic and can easily biomagnify in the food chain, hence posing a serious
