a Amounts of PCB stored in some of the countries at HRIHDW identified in this work. The amounts are given in logarithmic scale. b Total amounts of PCDD/Fs released to the environment by some of the countries at HRIHDW identified in this work. The amounts are given in logarithmic scale. The average amount of PCDD/Fs released in the 64 countries not in the list of countries at HRIHDW is 398.8 g/TEQ/y, which in log scale is 5.99.
