進口香港的大閘蟹樣本被檢出二噁英和二噁英樣多氯聯苯含量 超出食物安全中心行動水平的常見問題 Frequently Asked Questions on Imported hairy crabs Detected with dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs At levels in exceedance of CFS’action levels １ 二噁英和二噁英樣多氯聯苯是什麼? What are dioxins and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (DL-PCBs)? 二噁英是一組多氯性芬香族化合物，在環境中無處不在，可自然形成（例 如火山爆發和森林大火釋出），亦是燃燒（例如廢物焚化）及各種工業 過程（例如製造化學品、以氯漂白紙漿和冶煉金屬）產生的副產品。相 反，多氯聯苯則是人工製造的物質，過往作多種不同工業用途，例如製 造電子絕緣體或絕緣液體及專用的液壓機液體。 Dioxins are a group of polychlorinated aromatic compounds. They are ubiquitous in the environment, occurring naturally (e.g. volcanic eruptions and forest fires), and as by-products of combustion (e.g. waste incineration) and various industrial processes (e.g. production of chemicals, chlorine bleaching of paper pulp and smelting). In contrast, PCBs were manufactured in the past for a variety of industrial uses such as electrical insulators or dielectric fluids and specialised hydraulic fluids. ２ 在那裡會有二噁英和二噁英樣多氯聯苯？ What are the sources of dioxins and DL-PCBs? 二噁英和二噁英樣多氯聯苯是脂溶性的，不易分解，因此多積聚在脂肪 組織，並沿食物鏈由植物到動物，再由動物到人類逐漸累積。各種二噁 英和二噁英樣多氯聯苯的毒性不一。在所有已鑑別的相關的化合物中， 毒性最強的是 2, 3, 7, 8- 四氯二苯並對二噁英 (TCDD) 。 Dioxins and DL-PCBs are lipophilic and persistent in the environment. Hence, they tend to accumulate in fatty tissues and are passed up the food chain from plants to animals to humans. Different dioxins and DL-PCBs have different degree of toxicity. Of all types of related compounds identified, the most toxic one is 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-para-dioxin (TCDD). 自上世紀七十年代開始，大部分國家已禁止生產和使用多氯聯苯。不 過，以不當的方式焚化廢物或不當的方式管理用於處置多氯聯苯的廢物 場地，均會令二噁英和二噁英樣多氯聯苯釋放到環境中，污染土壤和水 中沉積物，更會沿食物鏈在生物體內積聚
