β¦ Synopsis
An experimental methodology developed by coupling a sampling line based on USEPA method 23 to a standard cone calorimeter is described for the study of uncontrolled emission of pollutants from fires of uncontaminated and contaminated wood. Four different kinds of timber-based materials were studied for target emissions which included PAHs, PCBs and dioxins. The results from the GC/MS analysis have been reported to show the presence of pollutants in emissions from all timber materials studied.

## Abstract The polychlorinated dibenzoβ__p__βdioxins (PCDD), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDF), and dioxinβlike polychlorinated biphenyls (dioxinβlike PCB) are ubiquitous in food of animal origin and accumulate in fatty tissues of animals and humans. The most toxic congener is 2,3,7,8βtetrachlo
