  2. Polychlorinated dibenzodioxins - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polychlorinated_dibenzodioxins

    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.

  3. Dibenzo-1,4-dioxin - Wikipedia

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

    Dibenzodioxin is the carbon skeleton of the poisonous polychlorinated dibenzodioxins (PCDDs), often called dioxins. The most harmful PCDD is 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxin (TCDD). Dioxins and dioxin-like compounds is a category of pollutants that includes PCDDs and other compounds that have similar structure, toxicity, and persistence.

  4. 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.

  5. Dioxin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dioxin

    Dioxin may refer to a number of different substances.Most notably: 1,2-Dioxin or 1,4-Dioxin, two unsaturated heterocyclic 6-membered rings in which two carbon atoms have been replaced by oxygen atoms, which gives the molecular formula C 4 H 4 O 2

  6. Dioxins and dioxin-like compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dioxins_and_dioxin-like...

    Dioxins and dioxin-like compounds (DLCs) are a group of chemical compounds that are persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in the environment.They are mostly by-products of burning or various industrial processes or, in the case of dioxin-like PCBs and PBBs, unwanted minor components of intentionally produced mixtures.

  7. Polychlorinated dibenzofurans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polychlorinated_dibenzofurans

    Polychlorinated dibenzofurans with chlorines at least in positions 2,3,7 and 8 are much more toxic than the parent compound dibenzofurane, with properties and chemical structures similar to polychlorinated dibenzodioxins. These groups together are often inaccurately called dioxins.

    TCDD is the most potent compound of its series (polychlorinated dibenzodioxins, known as PCDDs or simply dioxins) and became known as a contaminant in Agent Orange, an herbicide used in the Vietnam War. [4] TCDD was released into the environment in the Seveso disaster. [5] It is a persistent organic pollutant.
