The physical and chemical properties of polychlorinated dibenzo-p- dioxins have been considered in relation to prospects for their formation and destruction in incinerator environments. Detailed equilibrium and chemical kinetic con"siderations hs ave been used in performing qualitative assessments. I t is concluded that there are no apparent thermodynamic barriers to their destruction and that kinetic control is a dominating factor in practical incinerator environments. This analysis as well as a consideration of some existing experimental data are used to suggest some useful guidelines and to indicate research which should be carried, out in the future regarding dioxin disposal.
