Estimating Exposure to Dioxin-Like Compounds. Volume 2. Properties, Sources,Occurrence and Background Exposures

摘要

The document consists of three volumes addressing human exposure to dioxin-likecompounds. Volume 2 describes the properties, sources, environmental levels, and background exposures to dioxin-like compounds. The three-volume set serves as a final version of the 1988 draft document titled, Estimating Exposure to 2,3,7,8-TCDD (PB88-231196). The effort represents a substantial expansion in scope to include all compounds that exhibit dioxin-like toxicity. The document is intended to be used in conjunction with the health reassessment of dioxin-like compounds which the Agency is preparing concurrently.
