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.

How our treatment process works

Analyzing pollutants and site conditions

We begin by building a clear understanding of your site and waste streams. This includes identifying which pollutants are present, where they are located, and how they behave under site-specific conditions.

Stage
1

Testing samples against our fungal library

Samples from the site are collected and tested against our fungal library in controlled environments. This allows us to evaluate how effectively different strains degrade the specific pollutants present.

2

Designing treatment system based on site needs

Based on testing results, we design a modular treatment system adapted to your site and waste streams. We select the appropriate fungal cultures and define the operating conditions required for effective degradation.

Installing containerized modular treatment units

The modular system is installed directly on-site or at a nearby treatment location. Designed for rapid deployment, it can be integrated with minimal disruption to ongoing operations.

4

Fungal systems breaking down pollutants over time

Once operational, contaminated material is processed through the system where fungal strains break down pollutants over time. Through enzymatic processes, complex compounds are degraded into simpler, non-toxic substances.

Pollutants fully converted into compostable biomass

After treatment, results are verified through laboratory analysis to confirm pollutant reduction and system performance. We provide clear, transparent reporting aligned with regulatory requirements, giving full visibility into outcomes.
