Table 1.

Average concentrations of dioxin/furan compounds at all the sites. Data are split to show the whole sampling campaign (2007) and the two periods without and with the use of the two incinerators (January, February, April: JFA; October-November: ON). Data below the detection limits (DLs) are estimated as DL/2.
