title: A model for de novo synthesis and decomposition rates of dioxins and furans in municipal waste incinerators.
abstract: We present a concise summary of a de novo synthesis model for the rates of formation of dioxins and furans in incinerators. Representative numerical results are used to illustrate numerical predictions and their utilization.
