Natural resources are being exploited for the comfort of human beings. As these natural resources are getting near to depletion, industries are using artificial ingredients as an alternative for the natural ones. These ingredients are putting humanity at risk, causing diseases through toxins that are being emitted by such ingredients. Scientists, fortunately, have methods in determining such toxins through dioxin analysis which enables them in coming up with a cure for these diseases.

Dioxin is a side effect from multiple chemical, manufacturing, and combustion processes. The usage of chlorine of the processes mentioned above results to the formation of this toxic. Chlorine, although widely used as a disinfectant, is actually harmful to human beings. Chlorine gas being inhaled may result to respiratory problems, eye irritation, increased heartbeat, and even death.

Dioxin is without color, and without odor. Aside from chlorine, this compound also contains hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon. It is dissolved in fat, but not in water. Thus, binding itself to dregs, and biological matter, and is being absorbed in human and animal fatty tissue.

What makes it scarier is that it can pile up in the fatty tissue due to its characteristic of being not biodegradable. Aside from inhalation of this toxic through inhalation of chlorine gas, consuming meat from animals can also lead to toxic consumption of humans. Another cause of this toxic entering the body is exposure to emissions from waste incineration and production of chemicals.

Aside from aerial disposition of this compound, the soil can be contaminated through sewage wastes, spills and erosion from nearby affected areas. Even when people avoid eating meat, dioxin can enter their body by consuming vegetables from contaminated soil. Unfortunately, there is no escape from this compound.

One doctor suggested that one can get rid of dioxin from food by broiling them. However, prevention is better than cure. Consume less meat, dairy product, fish, and shellfish, and instead, eat more vegetables. Yes, the soils maybe contaminated, however, consuming less of it is one way of getting rid of it.

Another technique in avoiding dioxin is not to use products with chlorine. Buy products with natural ingredients but as effective as those products with the chemical. Try cleaning the bathroom regularly with just water and soap, rather than leaving it for days and relying on disinfectants to wash bacteria away.

Even during leisure activities, dioxins are present. Production of pesticides, and herbicides are done by incineration of chemicals. Just by breathing, and eating, one is actually risking the health of oneself. Even nursing babies are exposed to the compound, everyone in all ages have no means of escape from this.

While enjoying advancements in technology, people have thrown into oblivion the after effects of such advancements. Preserve life by prioritizing organic products, prioritizing environment that are far from contaminated areas. Help scientists by buying products that uses artificial materials.
