Full-scale investigation of brominated dioxin 1999.08.15

Since dioxins and chemical structures are similar, the environmental agency will embark on a full-fledged survey of brominated dioxin, which has been pointed out as a possibility of similar hazards. The atmospheric survey is conducted at 10 locations nationwide, mainly around the garbage incineration facility in 2000. Brominated dioxin burns flame retardants, including bromine used in plastic parts, and generates heat when heated, but has never been measured in Japan, and the actual pollution is unknown.
