HC Deb 30 April 1980 vol 983 c561W
Dr. Roger Thomas

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what are the permitted levels of tetrachloro-dibenzodioxins, TCDD, per million allowed in 2,4,5-T; whether this allows for the fact that several other dioxins and dibenzo furans may also be present; and what are the permitted levels of the latter products.

Mr. Wiggin

The WHO/FAO standard of 0.1 mg of TCDD per kg of active ingredient applies in the United Kingdom. 2,4,5-T does not contain other dioxins or dibenzofurans.
