An Integrated Strategy for Sustainable Dioxin Remediation: Sources, Places of Contamination, and Toxicity [PDF]

Molecules
Dioxins are highly persistent organic pollutants that exist in soil. Their hydrophobic and lipophilic characteristics facilitate long-term stability, posing high risks to the ecosystem and human health.

Quantifying the importance of the atmospheric sink for polychlorinated dioxins and furans relative to other global loss processes. [PDF]

, 2006
Previous attempts to establish global mass balances for polychlorinated dioxins and furans (PCDD/Fs) have focused on the terrestrial sink, thereby neglecting deposition to the oceans and atmospheric losses.

Dioxin impacts on lipid metabolism of soil microbes: towards effective detection and bioassessment strategies

Bioresources and Bioprocessing, 2020
Dioxins are the most toxic known environmental pollutants and are mainly formed by human activities. Due to their structural stability, dioxins persist for extended periods and can be transported over long distances from their emission sources.
