ResumoAbstract Among the most feared toxic chemicals known to man is 2,3,7,8‐tetrachlorodibenzodioxin (TCDD). PVC is a source of chlorine in waste and therefore it has been contended that its means of disposal should not be incineration. It is argued that the chlorine content of non‐PVC sources is in excess of that needed for dioxin production and therefore exclusion of PVC from municipal waste will have little effect upon harmful emissions. This investigation presents evidence substantiating this concept.
