چکیده
Dioxins are a group of anthropogenic chemical compounds created as unintended by-products through a number of activities including: combustion, certain types of chemical manufacture, chlorine bleaching of pulp and paper, and other industrial processes. Dioxins are produced in very small quantities compared to other pollutants; however, because this family of compounds are thought to be highly toxic, they have been treated as significant environmental pollutants since the early 1970's.
