Dioxins

Dioxins is a collective term referring to a class of chemically related persistent organic pollutants comprising polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs), and certain polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), distinguished by their halogenated aromatic structure, environmental persistence, bioaccumulative potential, and toxicological impact on human and ecosystem health.
