          I am seeking information  on "safe levels" or limit values of 
          dioxins and furans in wastes and in various environmental media. 
          I'm also interested in obtaining typical/background levels. 
          
          Basically, I am doing a general review/assessment of dioxins 
          (I use the term dioxin for brevity-but I really mean all the 
          congeners of both dioxins and furans and other dioxin-like 
          compounds). As part of my assessment, I would like data on both 
          background levels of dioxins as well as limit values for these 
          compounds. I would like this data for both general wastes and 
          environmental media, specifically, soils and sediments.
          
          I am also really interested in getting information on the various 
          regulations and guidelines used to control dioxins.
          
          This would be really appreciated,
          
          Cheers,
