Abstract
The role of chlorinated phenols as dioxins precursors in the bleach pl ant, was investigated. It was shown that these compounds are not signi ficant in the formation of dioxins. Rather, the weight of evidence sug gests that the precursors of the tetrachlorinated dioxins and furans g enerated in bleach plants are their corresponding unchlorinated analog ues, dibenzo-p-dioxin and dibenzofuran.
