Decline in PCDD and PCDF levels in sewage sludges from Catalonia (Spain)

Article Abstract:

Researchers from Barcelona, Spain investigated the decline of PCDD and PCDF levels in 19 sewage sludges from wastewater treatment plants using HRGC-HRMS in Catalonia since the 1980s. They also described the variations in isometric distributions which may reflect changes in sources of PCDD and PCDF to the environment.
