What is dioxin?
Dioxin is the common name used to refer to the chemical
2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin or TCDD. In addition to dioxin itself
there are other compounds, such as the polychlorinated dibenzodioxins
(PCDDs), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) and some polychlorinated
biphenyls (PCBs), that have similar structures and activity as dioxin. These
are often commonly referred to as dioxin-like compounds or "dioxins".

How are dioxins formed?
Dioxins are chemical contaminants that have no commercial usefulness by
themselves. They are formed during combustion processes, such as waste
incineration, forest fires and backyard trash burning, and during
manufacturing processes such as herbicide manufacture and paper manufacture.
e.g. dioxin was a contaminant of the herbicide Agent Orange used as a
defoliant by U.S. forces in Vietnam.

Chlorox isn't a good thing to put into a stream, however it won't become
dioxin unless you torch the stream. It is quickly diluted and much of the
chlorine evaporates.
