Subject: Re: [CPEO-MEF] munitions: source of dioxins and PCBs?
 

[Original message from Deborah Walker <janessia@mindspring.com> ]


> My understanding of the source of dioxins related to OB/OD grounds has
been that it was there due to burning of chlorinated compounds (i.e.,
solvents, PCBs in waste oil, etc.) that might have been used to initiate
the burning, rather than the munitions themselves. This is somewhat
anecdotal - I don't have any reference material to point to that says that,
but it is a rationale I've used for developing sampling strategies.
