| Abstract: | Several countries have put much effort in dioxin research programmes with the aim to assess the risks of dioxin exposure,
to identify dioxin sources and to quantify their contribution to environmental emissions and human exposure. In this review,
the accent has been put on: sources of dioxins and their contribution to the total dioxin emissions, sources of human exposure
and their contribution to exposure and measures to reduce emission and exposure. The information from countries with existing
dioxin regulations is reviewed and compared. Uncertainties which hamper comparability of data are indicated. Results of measures
and expectations for the near future are presented. |
