This article describes results of several tests done to determine what is causing the pervasive levels of polychlorinated dibenzo-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzo-furans (PCDD/PCDF), which the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has reported, in the adipose (fatty) tissue of Americans and people of virtually all developed nations. It has been found that vehicular emissions, not emissions from refuse burning, could be a major source of environmental PCDD/PCDF.
