Earth and Marine Sciences Research Institute

5. 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

6. 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 % for TCDD/F, PeCDD/F, HxCDD/F and % for OCDD/F

7. 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
