Release of Dioxins from Solid Waste Burning and its Impacts on Urban Human Population- A Review

Zainab Lali

Dioxins are highly persistent toxic compounds that stay in the food chain and environment for long time. In light of many recent and past studies, it is estimated that apart from various sources of dioxins release, one of the most prominent is the burning of solid waste whether open or through incineration. Dioxins are known for their reproductive and endocrinal disruption properties as well as causative agent for skin problems such as chloracne irrespective of the age and sex. Various case studies at large levels like as of Agent Orange and at individual levels support the toxic behavior of dioxins. Release of dioxins from solid waste burning can be controlled by considering some preventive protocols and following them seriously at the burning or incineration site.
