According to environmental experts, dioxins, like other heavy metals, do not degrade easily and can remain in the air for a long period of time, threatening public health.

Burning garbage, medical waste, fallen leaves, straws, disposable wires, coal, as well as vehicles’ exhaust emissions can produce dioxins.
