Here you can find all of the regulations and regulatory lists in which this substance appears, according to the data available to ECHA. This substance has been found in the following regulatory activities (directly, or inheriting the regulatory context of a parent substance):
| Region | Legislation | Emission medium | Process/equipment | Maximum emissions | Average emissions | Notes | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Maximum limit | Maximum sampling duration | Average limit | Average sampling duration | ||||||
| European Union | Water Environmental Quality Standards Directive | Biota | 0.0065 µg/l | The sum of PCDD+PCDF+PCB- DL 00065 ug. Kg-1. PCDD: polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins; PCDF: polychlorinated dibenzofurans; PCB-DL: dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls; TEQ: toxic equivalents according to the World Health Organisation 2005 Toxic Equivalence Factors. For substance number 37 (Dioxins and dioxin-like compounds) the biota EQS relates to fish crustaceans and molluscs in line with section 5.3 of the Annex to Commission Regulation (EU) No 1259/2011 of 2 December 2011 amending Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 as regards maximum levels for dioxins dioxin-like PCBs and non-dioxin-like PCBs in foodstuffs (OJ L 320 3.12.2011 p. 18). Where the MAC-EQS are not applicable the AA-EQS values are considered protective against short-term pollution peaks in continuous discharges since they are significantly lower than the values derived on the basis of acute toxicity. | |||||
