“…Dioxin has been found as an impurity within PCP treated wood, which is used as a fungicide and herbicide (Vollmuth et al, 1994). This has created a significant new source of dioxins that are emitted, and have left communities highly exposed on an unknowingly and continuous basis (Garcia-Nieto et al, 2009).
