FACTS about DIOXIN


Dioxin is a group of Toxic chemicals that are produced as an unintended by-product of the combustion of chlorinated chemicals.

Sources of dioxin in Pottstown:
  • Occidental Chemical PVC Production
  • Pottstown Landfill Gas Burning
EPA says people who live near a source of dioxin should consider inhalation to be an important hazard for them because they get a double dose. With 3 major sources of dioxin in our community how severe is our risk from dioxin?

EPA confirms that dioxin is one of the most toxic carcinogens known to humans.

EPA says every man, woman, and child's body already may contain enough dioxin to cause adverse health effects.

Dioxin gets into our air, then our water and soil, then our food chain

Dioxin can exhibit serious health effects at parts per trillion in your body.

Dioxin accumulates in the fat cells.

Dioxin is passed on to our children - our babies are born with dioxin in their bodies

Dioxin is not metabolized by humans - our bodies have no defense against it.
