Abstract

The formation of dioxin (term used here to refer to both polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, PCDDS, and dibenzofurans, PCBFs) in combustion processes is of concern because of the extreme toxicities of some of these compounds and because of their resistance to degradation in the environment. The number and location of chlorine substituents differentiate dioxin homologues and isomers, respectively. There are a total of 75 PCDD congeners and 135 PCDF congeners.(omitted)
