The metabolism of seven polychlorodibenzofuran isomers were studied in female Sprague Dawley rats. Bile samples were taken from surgically implanted bile duct cannulas over a period of 3 to 7 days, beginning 2 hr after dosing with the appropriate polychlorodibenzofuran isomer. Doses were administered either intravenously or by oral gavage. Metabolites were isolated from bile and analyzed as hydroxylated cmpd by GS/MS. The tetrachlorodibenzofuran isomers underwent rapid biotransformation. No ring opened products were seen, and both isomers were metabolized to hydroxylated tetrachlorodibenzofurans and trichlorodibenzofurans, and dihydroxy-trichlorodibenzofurans. The metabolites of the pentachlorodibenzofuran isomers showed quantitative differences in distribution; 1,2,3,4,8-pentachlorodibenzofuran metabolized primarily to hydroxy-pentachlorodibenzofurans, 1,2,3,7,8-pentachlorodibenzofuran resulted in dihydroxy-pentachlorodibenzofurans, and 2,3,4,7,8-pentachlorodibenzofuran metabolites were varied and resulted from ether bond cleavage. Neither 1,2,3,6,7,8-hexachlorodibenzofuran nor 1,2,3,4,6,7,8-heptachlorodibenzofuran resulted in discernible metabolite concn. It was concluded that polychlorodibenzofuran metabolism in rat liver is primarily due to oxidation, or hydrolytic or reductive dechlorination, that ether bond cleavage is a relatively unimportant metabolic mechanism, that chlorine substitution patterns affect metabolism, and that metabolism of polychlorodibenzofurans decreases with more than two chlorines in each ring.
CDDs are absorbed through oral, inhalation, and dermal routes of exposure. CDDs are carried in the plasma by serum lipids and lipoproteins, distributing mainly to the liver and adipose tissue. CDDs are very slowly metabolized by the microsomal monooxygenase system to polar metabolites that can undergo conjugation with glucuronic acid and glutathione. They may increase the rate of their own metabolism by inducing both phase I and phase II enzymes. The major routes of excretion of CDDs are the bile and the faeces, though smaller amounts are excreted in the urine and via lactation. (L177)
CDDs cause their toxic effects by binding to the aryl hydrocarbon receptor and subsequently altering the transcription of certain genes. The affinity for the Ah receptor depends on the structure of the specific CDD. The change in gene expression may result from the direct interaction of the Ah receptor and its heterodimer-forming partner, the aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator, with gene regulatory elements or the initiation of a phosphorylation/dephosphorylation cascade that subsequently activates other transcription factors. The affected genes include several oncogenes, growth factors, receptors, hormones, and drug-metabolizing enzymes. The change in transcription/translation of these genes is believed to be the cause of most of the toxic effects of CDDs. (L177)
Evaluation: There is limited evidence in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of a mixture of 1,2,3,6,7,8- and 1,2,3,7,8,9-hexachlorodibenzo-para-dioxins. Other polychlorinated dibenzo-para-dioxins are not classifiable as to their carcinogenicity to humans (Group 3). /Polychlorinated dibenzo-para-dioxins/

Exposure to large amounts of CDDs causes chloracne, a severe skin disease with acne-like lesions that occur mainly on the face and upper body. CDDs may also cause liver damage and induce long-term alterations in glucose metabolism and subtle changes in hormonal levels. In addition, studies have shown that CDDs may disrupt the endocrine system and weaken the immune system, as well as cause reproductive damage and birth defects, central and peripheral nervous system pathology, thyroid disorders, endometriosis, and diabetes.

In the period 1980 to 1982, 19 cormorants (Phalacrocorax carbo), 3 herons (Ardea cinerea), and 1 great crested grebe (Podiceps crisatus) were collected in The Netherlands. The livers of these fish-eating birds were analyzed for polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans. Only congeners with a 2,3,7,8-chlorine substitution pattern were found in the livers. The major component was 2,3,4,7,8-pentachlorodibenzofuran and 1,2,3,6,7,8-hexachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin, 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin, 1,2,3,7,8-pentachloridibenzo-p-dioxin were also present. Six pooled samples of the eel Anquilla anquilla showed the same congeneric pattern of chemicals as found in these bird species. In the eel, 2,3,4,7,8-pentachlorobenzofuran and 1,2,3,6,7,8-hexachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin were generally present in the 1-5 ng/kg range. Since the eel is the cormorant's major food, this indicates strong bioaccumulation for both congeners in the liver of the cormorant.
The polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and the polychlorinated dibenzofurans are predominantly stored in fat, but they are also excreted in milk and pass the placenta. They also appear in the blood and vital organs at lower concentrations. /Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins/
Human adipose tissue samples obtained during autopsies in 5 Canadian municipalities within the Great Lakes basin were analyzed for polychlorinated dibenzodioxins and dibenzofurans using GC-high resolution-MS. The mean congener values for male and female donors in each municipality are comparable with previously reported data. No significant differences in congener levels between male and female and between municipalities were detected. A positive correlation between congener level and age was observed for several congeners as well as for the total congener concn expressed as its 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxin toxic equivalent.
The tissue distribution of 2,3,7,8-chlorine substituted dibenzo-p-dioxins was conducted in 11 patients who died of cancer. The concn of octachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin was the highest in each organ and tissue and heptachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin was also found at relatively high levels, second only to octachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin. The levels of 1,2,3,7,8-pentachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin and 1,2,3,6,7,8-hexachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin in the spleen were the highest, respectively. 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin was also detected and its concentration was the highest in the gonad (0.8-3.2 pg/g-range). From the 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxin toxic equivalent calculations, the highest equivalent value was obtained from a 54 yr old female who died of cancerous goiter. This individual had the highest concentration of 2,3,7,8-substituted penta- and hexachlorodibenzo-p-dioxins among the 11 patients.

To evaluate the effect of photocatalytic degradation of titaniumdioxide (TiO2) thin film prepared by the sol-gel method, the photocatalysis of PCDD/DFs in acetonitrile/water solution by batch-recycle system was conducted.

Emissions of PAHs and PM10 were major contributors to U.K. national emission inventories. Major emissions were found from the domestic burning for Cl1,2,3DFs, while the contribution of PCDD/F-sigmaTEQ to total U.K.emissions was minor.
