Introduction
When we perform environmental assessment and source analysis of chemical substances, the technique which used environmental information such as detailed composition of chemical substance becomes important. Because dioxins and PCBs in particular, have a lot of number of the isomers which can get much environment information. Furthermore, there are the clue which is the importance mentioned above and the case that it is so that the mixture ratio of drained chemical substances and isomers composition shows a characteristic depending on a kind of source by using them for analysis. Therefore, in this database, we show the environment information of dioxins and PCBs, and there is for the purpose of contributing to source identification, environmental forensics, and risk management.
