==Dibenzofurans== ==Reactions==
Dibenzofuran is thermally robust with a convenient liquid range. These properties, together with its low toxicity, are exploited by the use of DBF as a heat transfer agent.<ref name=Ullmann/>
'''Dibenzofurans''' can also refer to ] (PCDFs), a family of organic compounds which are ]s which have atom or group substitutions made for the hydrogens on any of the numbered carbon atoms in the dibenzofuran structure. For example, 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzofuran (TCDF) has ] atoms substituted for each of the hydrogens on the number 2, 3, 7, and 8 carbons (see structure below). Polychlorinated dibenzofurans are very ] chemicals with properties and chemical structures similar to ], often simply called ].

Dibenzofuran is the precursor to the drug furobufen by ] reaction with ].
The dibenzofuran TCDF (2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzofuran) is the dibenzofuran analog of the ] TCDD (]), the poison released in the ].


==Safety==
==Environmental and health consequences==
Dibenzofuran is a relatively non-toxic compound as evidenced by rats being unaffected after a 200-day diet consisting of 0.025 – 0.4% of DBF.<ref name=Ullmann/> The ] are however among the potentially toxic ].


Dibenzofuran is cited in the United States Clean Air Act 1990 Amendments -Hazardous Air Pollutants as a volatile hazardous air pollutant of potential concern. The Superfund Amendment Reauthorization Act (SARA) Section 110 placed dibenzofuran on the revised ] (ATSDR) priority list of hazardous substances to be the subject of a toxicological profile. The listing was based on the substance’s frequency of occurrence at Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) National Priorities List sites, its toxicity, and/or its potential for human exposure.<ref name=niehs>{{cite web |url=https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/ntp/htdocs/chem_background/exsumpdf/dibenzofuran_508.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=2014-03-09 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121009105332/http://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/ntp/htdocs/Chem_Background/ExSumPdf/Dibenzofuran.pdf |archive-date=2012-10-09 }}</ref>
'''Probable places of origin'''
It is a white crystal-like solid created from production of coal tar.<ref>http://www.epa.gov/epawaste/hazard/wastemin/minimize/factshts/dibenzof.pdf</ref> It is used as an insecticide, in the production of PVC, industrial bleaching and incineration.

'''Production and Producers''': Dibenzofuran is recovered from a wash oil fraction of coal tar that boils between 275 °C and 290 °C. Redistillation separates dibenzofuran from acenaphthene, which boils at a lower temperature. Crystallization of the redistilled fraction then produces technically pure dibenzofuran.<ref>Elvers, B., Hawkins, S., Ravenscroft, M., Rounsaville, J.F. & Schulz, G., eds. (1989) Ullmann’s Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry. 5th ed., vol A12, NY, VCH Publishers, pp130-131</ref> Typical wood preservative creosote is approximately 3.5% dibenzofuran. Dibenzofuran occurs at levels of 0.19-1.50 wt % of dry tar in commercial coal tars.<ref>ATSDR (1990) Toxicological Profile for Creosote (TP-90-09). Atlanta, GA, ], pp 1-4, 9, 63-68</ref> It also is a by-product of smoking and affects both the smoker and second hand smokers.<ref name=niehs>http://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/ntp/htdocs/Chem_Background/ExSumPdf/Dibenzofuran.pdf</ref>

'''Regulatory Status''':
Dibenzofuran is cited in the Clean Air Act 1990 Amendments -Hazardous Air Pollutants as a volatile hazardous air pollutant of potential concern. The Superfund Amendment Reauthorization Act (SARA) Section 110 placed dibenzofuran on the revised ] (ATSDR) priority list of hazardous substances to be the subject of a toxicological profile. The listing was based on the substance’s frequency of occurrence at Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) National Priorities List sites, its toxicity, and/or its potential for human exposure. Dibenzofuran is also listed in the Massachusetts Substance List for Right-to-Know Law, the New Jersey Department of Health Hazard Right-to-Know Program Hazardous Substance List, and the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry Hazardous Substance List. California’s Air Toxics “Hot Spots” List (Assembly Bill).<ref name=niehs/>

'''Testing process'''
No medical test exists to identify dibenzofuran.<ref>New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services. Hazardous Substance
Fact Sheet: Dibenzofuran - http://nj.gov/health/eoh/rtkweb/documents/fs/2230.pdf</ref> But if symptoms of eye, nose, throat or skin irritation occurs after exposure (accidentally / workplace) medical attention is recommended.
