Dioxins

Dioxins are a group of chemicals related to chlorine and benzene. They are known by the federal government to be carcinogenic. Because dioxins are widespread, and are found in small amounts in a variety of consumer products, almost everyone has some exposure. Because dioxins are fat-soluble, the risk to the general population is mostly through food containing animal fats. However, those who work in herbicide, waste incineration or paper manufacturing have a high risk of occupational exposure. Vietnam War veterans and Vietnamese civilians who were exposed to Agent Orange are also thought to have a high risk of dioxin side effects. In addition to cancer, effects of dioxin exposure include a skin problem called chloracne, immune damage, respiratory damage, birth defects and diabetes.
