PCDD/Fs can be formed during the manufacture of chlorophenols, chlorobenzenes, and chlorobiphenyls, and the production and use of them could be important sources. Some researchers believe that the manufacture of halogenated organic chemicals is the largest contributor of PCDD/Fs in China (Huang et al., 2001). While some specified sources have been closed in developed countries, the release of PCDD/Fs from chemical manufacturing is still a problem in China due to the use of dated processes or technologies, despite their limited use. These chemical manufactures are described below.

The demand for methyl chloride will continue to grow because of the rising demand for silicones, which is growing at over two percent annually. This will occur despite the increased government concerns regarding this halogenated organic chemical.
