Dioxins
What are dioxins?
Dioxins are a group of highly toxic, persistent organic pollutants formed as byproducts of industrial processes such as waste incineration, chemical manufacturing, and combustion. They are not intentionally produced but arise from incomplete burning and certain chemical reactions.
Sources & occurrence
Dioxins are typically found near incineration plants, chemical production facilities, metal processing sites, and areas with historical industrial activity. They can accumulate in soil, sediments, and the food chain, particularly in animal fats.
Environmental & health impact
Dioxins are highly toxic even at low concentrations. Long-term exposure has been linked to cancer, immune system damage, reproductive issues, and developmental problems. Their ability to bioaccumulate makes them a serious and long-term environmental hazard.
MycoMine treatment
MycoMine applies specialised fungal strains capable of breaking down complex aromatic structures like those found in dioxins. Through oxidation and decomposition through fungal enzymes, these compounds are gradually transformed into less harmful substances.
