Abstract Twenty-one commercial chlorophenols were examined for the presence of polychlorodibenzo- p-dioxins (chlorodioxins) and related compounds. The chlorophenols were dissolved in aqueous alkali, extracted with petroleum ether, and fractionated on an alumina column. Alumina fractions were examined by electron capture gas chromatography and combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Chlorodioxin content was estimated by electron capture gas chromatography. The presence of chlorodioxins, polychlorodibenzofurans (chlorofurans), and polychlorodiphenyl ethers (chloroethers) was confirmed by combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The 2,3,-7,8-tetrachlorodioxin was found in 3 of 6 samples of 2,4,5-trichlorophenol but was not detected in any of the 11 samples of tetra- and pentachlorophenol that were examined. Hexachlorodioxin was present at levels ranging from 0.17 to 39 ppm in all 8 pentachlorophenols examined. Hexa-, hepta-, and octachlorodioxins as well as a wide variety of chlorofurans and chloroethers of varying chlorine content were present in most of the tetra- and pentachlorophenols. In addition, the gas chromatographic- mass spectrometric data suggested that some of the chlorophenols contained methoxy- and dimethoxypolychlorofurans and methoxypolychloroethers as well as polychlorohy droxybiphenyl.
