Abstract

As part of a broad study to determine whether 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-P-dioxin (TCDD) is accumulating in the environment due to approved uses of 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T) based herbicides, samples of fish, water, mud and human milk were collected from areas in Arkansas and Texas where 2,4,5-T herbicides are used and were analyzed for TCDD. No TCDD was detected by a GC-MS procedure with a detection limit which averaged less than 10 ppt.
