Chlorinated dioxins and dibenzofurans in human tissues from general populations: a selective review

During the past decade a considerable amount of data has been generated concerning polychlorinated dibenzodioxin (PCDD) and polychlorinated dibenzofuran (PCDF) levels in humans from many geographical locations. To organize these data in a useful fashion for environmental purposes and for considerati...

Cau, Hoang Dinh Dai, Le Cao Quynh, Hoang Trong Cuong, H. Q. Phuong, Nguyen Thi Ngoc Phiet, Pham Hoang Beim, Albert Constable, John Startin, James Samedy, My Seng, Yit Kim Articles During the past decade a considerable amount of data has been generated concerning polychlorinated dibenzodioxin (PCDD) and polychlorinated dibenzofuran (PCDF) levels in humans from many geographical locations. To organize these data in a useful fashion for environmental purposes and for consideration of human toxicity, selected portions of our data are presented in a somewhat atypical fashion, by percentage contribution of individual congeners to total PCDD/Fs in human tissue, and to the total dioxin equivalents (TEq). This is done to better characterize congener contributions from environmental contamination in various geographical regions at this time and health-related levels. To present the findings in a global perspective, data from widely different locations are presented including the United States, Germany, Vietnam, the former Soviet Union, Thailand, Cambodia, China, South Africa, and Guam. 1994-01 /pmc/articles/PMC1566889/ /pubmed/8187705 Text en
