Dioxin precursors can be found in some very old herbicides and livestock treatment
products manufactured before the mid-1980's. The most common of these products will contain
Silvex, 2,4,5 T, and pentachlorophenol.
They are a concern in the environment because of their ability to accumulate in the body
fat of animal tissue. Once in the environment, dioxins do not break down easily.
We continue to collect dioxin precursors and they are shipped by a hazardous waste
contractor to a hazardous waste landfill in Canada permitted to accept the material.
