Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore industrial processes in the Netherlands, in which possibly dioxins are formed. The results are based on an inquiry with several authorities. Combustion processes have been selected based on criteria like the presence of chlorinated compounds (kind of chlorinated compound), temperature, throughput of the process, kind of flue gas purification. Criteria for chemical processes have been the presence of chlorinated compounds (kind of chlorinated compound) and temperature. The most important recommendation is the execution of 64 analyses of dioxins at 53 plants.
