Les PCDD, PCDF et PCB sont des hydrocarbures aromatiques tricycliques halogénés qui présentent des caractéristiques physiques et chimiques communes. Le terme dioxines constitue une dénomination commune pour ces composés. Les hydrocarbures aromatiques halogénés sont quasi omniprésents sous la forme de mélanges d'isomères et congénères. 3, record 1, French, - hydrocarbure%20aromatique%20halog%C3%A9n%C3%A9
