Abstract
Dioxin and related compounds including polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, polychlorinated dibenzofurans and non-ortho coplanar PCBs have been focused recently in the environmental pollution due to their extremely high toxicity.
In this paper, dietary intake, exposure to food and human body, and pharmacokinetics of these compounds were reviewed. In addition, a risk assessment on dietary intake and a comparison between these compounds and PCBs on excretion from body were discussed.
