Human effects by dioxin exposures in Western countries were mostly acute and at high level in accidentally and/or occupationally. Health effects of low-dose and long lasting exposure has not been well understood. Certain amount of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDD), dibenzofurans (PCDF) and...

To date, all human tissues have had measurable levels of dioxin congeners as detected by the most accurate methods. Tetrachlorodibenzo- p -dioxin (TCDD), the most toxic dioxin, also called 'the most toxic man-made chemical,' has an estimated half-life of 7–11 years in humans. Many ...

Agency (EPA) has estimated that over 95% of human exposure to dioxins results from dietary intake of animal fats. The major food sources for dioxin exposure include fish, poultry, meats, milk, and milk products. Dioxins are excreted in human breast milk and result in exposures ...
The Belgian Federal Food Chain Security Agency said there is no immediate danger to human health. Commission spokesperson Philip Tod said that the EU is testing to check if dioxins made their way into the human food chain. After the BSE and dioxin scandals in the 90s, the EU has been very...

2016). According to the World Health Organization for these compounds, due to their toxicity, it is necessary to take appropriate actions in the field of public health to reduce their emission (World Health Organization 2010). The toxicity of PCDD/Fs causes heart problems, disrupts the ...
Due to the potential toxicity of PCDD/Fs and their frequent presence at different environmental matrix, human biomonitoring of PCDD/Fs has been an important issue to assess the risks of these chemicals on human health. The concentrations of PCDD/Fs have been determined in tissues such as kidney...
Since food is the major source (> 90%) for the accumulation of PCBs and dioxins in the human body, food habits in women determine the degree of fetal exposure and levels in human milk. In order to investigate an association between dietary intake and PCB and dioxin levels in human milk ...
