CIL - Polychlorinated Dioxin and Furan Individual Standards

Dioxins and Furans are organic pollutants that can be found as byproducts in commercial organochloride pesticide formulations, chlorine-bleached pulp and paper products, and incineration of organic material in the presence of chlorine. Dioxins are persistent in the environment, bioaccumulate in humans and animals, and are suspected to be teratogenic,
mutagenic, and carcinogenic.
