• Definitions:
• Any of a family of compounds known chemically as dibenzo-p-dioxins. Concern about them arises from their potential toxicity and contaminants in ...
• a man-made chemical by-product formed during the manufacturing of other chemicals and during incineration. Studies show that dioxin is the most potent animal carcinogen ever tested, as well as the cause of severe weight loss, liver problems, kidney problems, birth defects, and death.
• Toxic chemical by-products of incineration and some industrial processes that use chlorine.
• One of the most hazardous of all chemicals, can cause both acute and long-term effects ranging from chloracne, a skin disease, to cancer, reproductive failures, and reduced resistance to infectious disease.
• A family of compounds, some of which are hazardous, that result from combustion of carbon materials. The most toxic of these compounds is 2, 3, 7, 8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin.
• a group of chemical compounds that share certain characteristics. Dioxins are formed as a result of combustion processes such as waste incineration and burning fuels such as wood and coal.
• is a cancer-causing byproduct from the chlorine bleaching process and is created by chlorine molecules combining with organic molecules in the tree fibers.
• a known human carcinogen, and the most potent synthetic carcinogen ever tested in laboratory animals. Dioxin causes damage to development, reproduction, and the immune and endocrine systems at infinitesimally low doses (in the low parts per trillion). ...
• A special group of dangerous chemicals known as persistent organic pollutants. Once dioxins have entered the environment or body, they are there to stay due to their uncanny ability to dissolve in fats and to their rock-solid chemical stability. ...
• 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (2,3,7,8-TCDD). The most highly toxic of a group of structurally similar polychlorinated aromatic hydrocarbons, differing in the number and location of chlorine atoms in their molecular structure, often collectively referred to as dioxins. ...
• Any of a group of toxic chlorinated compounds known chemically as dibenzo-p-dioxins (or the most toxic of these compounds, 2,3,7,8 tetrachloro dibenzo-p-dioxin). They are produced inadvertently as a by-product of chemical production or combustion and are widespread pollutants in the environment.
• any of several toxic or carcinogenic hydrocarbons that occur as impurities in herbicides
• Dioxin is the popular name for the family of halogenated organic compounds, the most common consisting of polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) and polychlorinated dibenzodioxins (PCDDs). ...
