Voorbeelden van dioxin

• Other emissions often associated with incinerators, such as total particulates, dioxins, and furans, were not measured due to budget constraints but would be of interest for future studies.

• Emissions of dioxins can however be reduced to levels at or below the level of detection if efficient combustion and abatement is achieved.

• Dioxins are a group of closely related chemicals produced during combustion and as unwanted byproducts of some industrial chemical processes.

• One thing must be clearly emphasised: the dioxin crisis was the result of criminal infringements of the existing rules and regulations.

• Dioxins may subsequently enter the food chain through vegetation and the diet of animals.

• Even in this country, local authorities are allowed to encourage the burning of waste which releases dioxin, which again harms breast-fed babies.

• He ought to consider whether it is not just some airborne dioxins from a faulty incinerator which have been deposited.

• Should high levels of dioxins be detected in releases from waste incinerators—ie.

• We accept that incinerators produce dioxins, heavy metals and several other pollutants.

• Manual sampling and analysis of other pollutants such as heavy metals and dioxins must be provided.

• We have seen it happen, even if it is not the direct subject of this report, with the dioxin case.

• Let's have the courage to also declare dioxin to be a worldwide problem.

• Emissions of dioxins and furans can only be addressed via material choices at design stage.

• Their idea is that we should not have to destroy a batch of products just because it is contaminated with dioxins!

• Individually and collectively, these three proposals will address major shortcomings brought to light by the dioxin crisis.
