Dioxins

Make an analysis order

Dioxins are a group of highly toxic and persistent environmental pollutants that can be generated as byproducts of certain industrial processes, combustion of waste materials, and fires. They are formed when organic matter, including plastics, paper, and other materials containing chlorine, is burned at high temperatures or during specific chemical processes.

Gas Emissions: In industrial settings, dioxins can be released into the atmosphere through gas emissions from various activities, including waste incineration, metal smelting, and chemical manufacturing.

Fires: Fires, particularly uncontrolled wildfires and accidental fires in buildings or industrial facilities, can also generate dioxins.

Dioxins are of significant concern due to their harmful effects on human health and the environment. They are persistent organic pollutants that can accumulate in the food chain, particularly in fatty tissues of animals, including fish and livestock. Human exposure to dioxins can occur through the consumption of contaminated food, especially meat, dairy products, and fish.

Dioxins are classified as a known human carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), and they have been linked to various adverse health effects, including cancer, reproductive disorders, immune system dysfunction, and developmental issues in children.
