Chlorinated dioxins and furans are highly toxic micropollutants emitted from combustion sources, in particular, municipal solid waste incinerators. Because of concerns over their adverse health effects, a number of countries have introduced stringent emission limits for chlorinated dioxins and furans. The ...

Dioxins are a group of chlorinated organic chemicals that includepolychlorinated dibenzodioxins(PCDD)s and polychlorinated dibenzo-furans (PCDF)s[114]. Most of the dioxin-like compounds are found in nature as byproducts of incomplete combustion processes like incineration, emissions from ...

Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) are a group of dangerous compounds, emitted mostly from anthropogenic sources, that have negative effects on human health. Therefore, it is interesting to analyze the emission patterns of dioxins proceeding from ...
