What has Dow done to quantify the presence of dioxins and furans?
Dow typically quantifies the presence of dioxins and furans primarily through actual analysis. That data is collected according to all permit requirements we have for each manufacturing site. Where there is no permit requirement, the data is collected as per our internal expertise and capability. This data forms the basis for our required government reporting such as EPA and NPRI. Dow is a leader in the development of analytical methods to quantify low levels of dioxin in the environment.
