Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDD's) and
dibenzofurans (PCDF's) are environmental pollutants associated with the production and use of a number of industrial
chemicals. In addition, PCDD's and PCDF's are produced
during low temperature combustion of wastes containing
polyvinylchloride (PVC), chlorophenols, and a number of
other chemical precursors.
A significant source of environmental...
