News Brief

Boston City Council Passes Dioxin Resolution

The Boston City Council unanimously passed a resolution in October establishing city purchasing guidelines that favor materials that do not produce dioxin, a potent human carcinogen and endocrine disrupter. Dioxin is released when chlorinated products, including chlorine-bleached paper and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), are manufactured and incinerated. Similar policies are in effect in the cities of Seattle, San Francisco, and Oakland, as well as the states of Washington, Oregon, and New Hampshire. The City Council is online at www.cityofboston.gov/citycouncil/.
