PVC plastics in incinerators

[HRVM60A@prodigy.com (MR CARROLL D JOHNSTON)]

I recall a lot of discussion in recent weeks on Dioxin-L about the 
increased production of dioxins in solid waste incinerators when PVC 
plastics are added to the waste stream.  We are trying to persuade 
our county’s solid waste incinerator operators to remove these 
plastics from the incinerator’s supply of solid waste fuel.  They 
have asked for scientific evidence that this would be a worthwhile 
effort.

Would someone please provide me with specific references from peer-
reviewed scientific journals that support the argument that PVC 
plastic in incinerators increases dioxin production?

Also, I have not yet received a response to my earlier request for 
citations of research articles that describe the connection between 
neurodevelopmental damage in fetuses and the mothers’ exposure to 
dioxin-like compounds.  If anyone can give me such citations, I still 
need them.  Thanks.
