How to Test Soil for Dioxin (2,3,7,8-TCDD)

Long-lasting and toxic at low levels, dioxins like 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzodioxin (2,3,7,8-TCDD) are a serious concern when found in soil. Whether you’re assessing past industrial use, military activity, or contamination near sites of fire or hazardous waste, it’s important to get a precise laboratory analysis.

SimpleLab’s Dioxin (TCDD) Soil Test is a certified, mail-in kit designed to detect (2,3,7,8-TCDD in a single soil sample using EPA Method 1613B.
