Dioxins

Dioxins are called persistent organic pollutants (POPs), meaning they take a long time to break down once they are in the environment. Dioxins are highly toxic and can cause cancer, reproductive and developmental problems, damage to the immune system, and can interfere with hormones.” Dioxins are released in burning fuels. https://www.epa.gov/dioxin/learn-about-dioxin https://www.cdc.gov/biomonitoring/DioxinLikeChemicals_FactSheet.html

Perchlorate

“Perchlorate is a naturally occurring and man-made chemical that has been found in surface and groundwater in the United States. Perchlorate is used in the manufacture of fireworks, explosives, flares, and rocket fuel. Perchlorate was detected in just over 4% of public water systems in a nationally representative monitoring study conducted from 2001–2005.” https://www.epa.gov/sites/default/files/2015-10/documents/ace3_drinking_water.pdf
