Dioxin Emissions — Air and Water
Based upon Toxic Equivalents (TEQ), Louisiana Operations has reduced dioxin emissions by more than 77 percent since 1995. Dow has historically used TEQ for reporting and goal setting due to its relevance to the public. Total mass of 17 dioxin compounds (TM17) is included due to new requirements set by EPA for SARA reporting. |
