In "Dioxin, Agent Orange: The Facts," Michael Gough digests and analyzes the volumes of contradictory evidence clouding this factor. From an independent point of view, he investigates such questions as: Does dioxin reason melanoma? What are the quick and, if any, long term results of publicity? Can it reason beginning defects in young children? Has it prompted the deaths of Vietnam veterans?

Any industrial chemicals that reach the island must be borne in by the air. When seientists from Indiana University examined sediment from a lake on the island, they found trace amounts of dioxin in the upper layers, but steadily decreasing concentration in layers deposited before 1940. , and St. Louis, Missouri, the seientists concluded that the chemicals originated in ineinerators from far-off eities and were carried by the wind to the island. It is widely believed that burning plastics is an important source of dioxin.
In any case, trichlorophenol explosions are more akin to apressure cooker blowing its lid than to a bomb going off. When the explosion occurs, the chemicals in the reaction vessel are forced into the workrooms, exposing everyone to fumes, liquids, and solid particles containing dioxin. " If connections of the equipment in the chemical plant are not tight, enough trichlorophenol and dioxin may seep into the plant, gene rally as fumes, to cause chloracne. Moreover, every routine service and repair of equipment exposes workers to any liquid or solid residues remaining in the equipment.
Instead of simply raising the temperature, a new incinerator may have to be built to ensure destruction of dioxin. Taken at face value, the data about wood fires releasing dioxin into the atmosphere say that dioxin has been around as long as fire. If that is true, dioxin is not a new hazard, sprung upon us by modern industry. Moreover, forcing reductions in the amounts of chemicals that contain traces of dioxin may not be the most effective method of lowering exposures to the chemicaI. One might be led to believe that perhaps wood fires should be regulated.
