Stack Testing for Dioxins and Furans
Dioxins and furans is a name given to a family of toxic substances that share a similar chemical structure. Most dioxins and furans are a by-product of other processes such as the production of herbicide, paper bleaching and the burning of products.
We are accredited for the testing of dioxins and furans.
90% of exposure to dioxins and furans is from eating contaminated food. Dioxins and furans typically stay and build up in the fatty tissues of animals. This means that eating beef, pork, poultry, fish as well as dairy products can be a source of exposure.
They can also enter your body through breathing contaminated air and drinking contaminated water. This contamination can be from solid waste incinerators, copper smelters, cement kils, coal-fired power plants and even forest fires.
