SW-846 Test Method 4430: Screening For Polychlorinated Dibenzo-p-Dioxins (PCDDs) and Polychlorinated Dibenzofurans (PCDFs) In Soils and Sediments Using an Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor-Based Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) Assay

This method is a screening procedure for polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) in soils and sediments. This method uses a commercially-available aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR)-based polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay.
