    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dibenzo-1,4-dioxin

    Dibenzo-1,4-dioxin, also dibenzodioxin or dibenzo-p-dioxin (dibenzo-para-dioxin), is a polycyclic heterocyclic organic compound in which two benzene rings are connected by a 1,4-dioxin ring. Its molecular formula is C 12 H 8 O 2. The two oxygen atoms occupy opposite (para-) positions in the six-membered dioxin ring.

    General structure of PCDDs where n and m can range from 0 to 4. Polychlorinated dibenzodioxins (PCDDs), or simply dioxins, are a group of long-lived polyhalogenated organic compounds that are primarily anthropogenic, and contribute toxic, persistent organic pollution in the environment.

    2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is a polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin (sometimes shortened, though inaccurately, to simply 'dioxin') [3] with the chemical formula C 12 H 4 Cl 4 O 2. Pure TCDD is a colorless solid with no distinguishable odor at room temperature.

    [1] It is one of the dominant dioxin congeners in smoke emissions, but because it is much less soluble than e.g. TCDD, it is not bioaccumulated as effectively and it is toxicologically less important than the most prevalent dioxins. (for details see Dioxins and dioxin-like compounds).

  8. 1,4-Dioxin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1,4-Dioxin

    1,4-Dioxin (also referred as dioxin or p-dioxin) is a heterocyclic, organic, non-aromatic [2] compound with the chemical formula C 4 H 4 O 2. There is an isomeric form of 1,4-dioxin, 1,2-dioxin (or o -dioxin). 1,2-Dioxin is very unstable due to its peroxide -like characteristics.

    In 2008, concentrations as high as 35 ng/m 3, 10 times higher than the EPA guideline limit of 3.4 ng/m 3, have been documented inside some houses in the U.S. [31] Volatilization of PCBs in soil was thought to be the primary source of PCBs in the atmosphere, but research suggests ventilation of PCB-contaminated indoor air from buildings is the ...
