In conventional monitoring of dioxins (PCDDs, PCDFs, and dioxin-like PCBs) in ambient air in Japan, the average of TEQ concentration in four samples obtained by one solid week sampling in each season (TEQ-S) is regarded as the annual average. The TEQ in the ambient air depends on meteorological cond...
