What Does CDF Stand For?
CDF stands for Chlorinated Dibenzofuran
CDF, or Chlorinated Dibenzofuran, is a class of chemical compounds that are derivatives of dibenzofuran with one or more chlorine atoms substituted at various positions on the aromatic rings. These compounds are of particular interest due to their environmental persistence, potential toxicity, and role as pollutants. CDFs can be generated as byproducts in various industrial processes, including waste incineration. Their study is crucial for assessing environmental impact and human health risks associated with chlorinated organic compounds.
