Environmental Toxicology of Polychlorinated Dibenzo-p-Dioxins and Polychlorinated Dibenzofurans [PDF]

Environmental Health Perspectives, 1993
Few environmental compounds have generated as much interest and controversy within the scientific community and in the lay public as polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs). Their ubiquitous presence in the environment and the risk of accidental exposure has raised concern over a possible threat of PCDDs or ...
