Low-levels of dioxin cause cancer in animals. In 1997 dioxin was found to be a human carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, based largely on four studies of industrial workers exposed to high levels. Recently there has been interest in estimating human cancer risk at low level environmental exposures. Here we review quantitative exposure-response analyses and risk assess...

Possible risk of endometriosis for Seveso, Italy, residents: an assessment of exposure to dioxin.

A recent study by Rier et al. showed that rhesus monkeys exposed daily for 4 years to 5 or 25 ppt of dioxin in food develop endometriosis, with incidence and severity related to dose. We aimed to determine whether the total time-integrated dioxin exposure of a human population could be comparable to that of Rier's monkeys. We selected a sample of residents of Seveso, Italy, who were acutely exp...

Human exposure to dioxin.

Because 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is the most potent chemical carcinogen evaluated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), many people fear that exposure to even small amounts of TCDD could lead to serious health effects. Ambient measurements confirm that environmental TCDD contamination is widespread. The public is concerned about TCDD exposure from such diverse sou...
