The Feasibility on Application of Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay for Screening Dioxin Soil on Contaminated Site

Article Preview

Abstract:

Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbant Assay (ELISA) is a dioxin screening test method, which has several advantages such like low setup cost, low analysis cost, low technical barriers, simple operation, and short analysis time. The case study of this study is a dioxin contaminated site. ELISA was applied in this site due to its widely contaminated range, numerous surveys, and short remediation period. The experience earned in this case study could be the reference for similar pollution site in the future.
