Chlorine in equals dioxin out? …It's not that simple

Abstract: The issue of whether and how the chlorine content of combusted fuels may influence emissions of PCDD/DFs is examined. It is suggested that elementary plots of data that compare PCDD/DFs emission factors to levels of chlorine in combusted fuels may lead to development of unsubstantiated conclusions, mask underlying dynamical processes that may be of more profound significance, and have the potential to inordinately influence policies concerning materials and energy use and management.
