2,8-Dichlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (2,8-DCDD) is a chlorinated dioxin. It is used as an analytical reagent in wastewater treatment methods. 2,8-DCDD can be prepared by the reaction of chlorine atoms with a sample that contains dioxins. The preparation of 2,8-DCDD involves the use of solvents such as dichloromethane or toluene and has been shown to require activation energies between 10 and 40 kcal/mol. 2,8-DCDD is a postulated carcinogen because it binds to receptor sites on cells and promotes tumor formation in animal models. The rate of formation of 2,8-DCDD has been shown to increase when triclosan is present in the environment at concentrations greater than 0.1 ppm. Triclosan can also promote the formation of 2,6-dichlorophenol
