Abstract
Samples from industrial and domestic emissions and materials were investigated by using in vitro assays for dioxin-like-response (DLR) and chemical analysis. The results show a small part of persistent bioaccumulative toxicants (PBT) to be responsive in vitro· Clean-up procedures directed to persistence decrease the amount of inducing toxicants substantially· The comparison of biological in vitro (B) and chemical (A) analysis show ratios between B and A below 10 for DLR of persistent inductors. The consideration of PAH improved the knowledge about unknown less persistent agonists.
