| Abstract: | Background, aim, and scope The main pathway for human exposure to the highly toxic polychlorinated-p-dioxins and polychlorinated furans polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs)] is via dietary intake. Other exposure pathways may, however, be important in close proximity
to point sources, such as wood preservation sites, where PCDD/F contaminated chlorophenols (CP) were previously used. In this
study, a heavily PCDD/F contaminated CP saw mill site in Sweden was investigated. Human exposure through a broad spectrum
of exposure pathways was assessed. Such studies are in demand since the question whether contaminated sites represent a current
or future risk can only be answered by detailed site-specific risk assessments. |
