Comment on "Levels of polychlorodibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans in crab tissues from the Newark/Raritan Bay system." (response to Z. Cai, et al, Environmental Science and Technology, vol. 28, p. 1528, 1994)
Article Abstract:
Z. Cai and his colleagues suggested that a former 2,4,5-T manufacturing facility in the lower Passaic River was the sole source of polychlorodibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans in the tissues of Callinectes sapidus samples. This claim is doubtful as it is based on limited data. Moreover, the study did not take other investigations of sediment and contaminant sources into account.

Response to comments on "Levels of polychlorodibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans in crab tissues from the Newark/Raritan Bay system." (response to T.J. Iannuzzi, et al, in this issue, p. 721)
Article Abstract:
T.J. Iannuzzi and his colleagues erroneously claimed that a former 2,4,5-T facility had earlier been blamed as the sole source of dioxins and dibenzofurans found in the tissues of crabs from the Newark/Raritan Bay system. The earlier paper actually designated the said facility as a major source. They also based their assertions on investigations that are suspiciously biased.

Results of monitoring for polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans in ambient air at McMurdo Station, Antarctica
Article Abstract:
Ambient air samples obtained from four different sites at McMurdo Station in Antartica were analyzed for polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDD) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDF). The results indicated the presence of additional combustion sources for PCDD and PCDF concentrations in the air. Antarctic air was generally free of PCDD and PCDF compounds.
