Dioxins and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) belong to the group of compounds known as persistent organic pollutants. They are known to bioaccumulate due to their lipophilic structure. Therefore, it has negative effects on human health.

Dioxins are formed by the incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons in the presence of chlorine. They have high melting points and are stable to acids and bases. Therefore, it is very persistent in the environment. It can be found in many environmental environments such as soil, air, and water.
Dioxins and chemically related compounds, called the sum of dioxin-like compounds, are a group of environmental pollutants found throughout the world. Exposure to these compounds has been found to cause a wide variety of adverse health effects, including reproductive and developmental problems, cardiovascular disease, increased diabetes and increased cancer. Dioxin-like PCBs tend to accumulate in the fat of food-producing animals, and consumption of foods of animal origin, such as meat, poultry, eggs, fish, and dairy products, is considered the primary means of human exposure to low levels of dioxin-like PCBs.
In the test, analysis, measurement and evaluation studies carried out in our organization, national and international standards and applicable legal regulations are complied with and reliable and impartial results are obtained.
