Dioxins are a group of chemically related compounds that persistently pollute the environment. Here are some key facts about dioxins: Toxicity: Dioxins are highly toxic and can cause a range of health issues. They can: Reproductive and Developmental Problems: Affect reproductive and developmental processes. Immune System Damage: Interfere with the immune system. Hormonal Disruption: Disrupt hormones. Cancer: Potentially lead to cancer. Sources: Dioxins are mainly by-products of industrial processes, but they can also result from natural events like volcanic eruptions and forest fires. Uncontrolled waste incinerators are significant contributors to environmental dioxin release. Food Chain Accumulation: Dioxins accumulate in the food chain, especially in fatty tissues of animals. Over 90% of human exposure occurs through food, including meat, dairy products, fish, and shellfish. Global Distribution: Although dioxin formation is local, their distribution is global. High levels are found in soils, sediments, and certain foods.
