History of Dioxin in MRC-ESERI
January 03 Market searched for Dioxin in Turkey
EU February 03 Dioxin study business plan
prepared March 03 EPA, EN Standards translated
to Turkish April 03 Institutions for training
searched in Europe May 03 PCDD and PCDF sources,
formation and toxicity examined

History of Dioxin in MRC-ESERI
June 03 materials and equipments ordered for
EN-1948/1-2 Contact with MoE, metal recovery
firms searched in Turkey for this project August
03 Extraction and clean-up systems are performed
for EN-1948/1-2, first trials September 03
Calibration of HRMS with standards done October
03 The results are validated for Accreditation,
Recoveries 80-120 for TCDD/F, PeCDD/F, HxCDD/F
and 100-140 for OCDD/F

History of Dioxin in MRC-ESERI
November 03 CRM for accreditation ordered the
first real extraction and clean-up trials from
adsorbent (XAD-2) studied December 03 The
mistakes of our experimental system searched,
clarifying the procedure January 04 Obtained the
higher recoveries in the analyse of CRM
