Dioxins and furans are the common names for two related families of environmentally persistent, toxic substances. Sources include release during the large-scale burning of garbage and medical waste, iron, steel, paper, and chemical production, fuel and wood burning, and generating electrical power.
Releases from natural sources–such as forest fires and volcanic eruptions–can also contribute to dioxin and furan contamination. Once they enter the environment, it takes a long time for them to break down.
