TL;DR: This review article summarizes what is known about human health following exposure to dioxins and is meant primarily for health professionals but was also written with the general public in mind.

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that a major route of current and past exposures is from the movement of dioxin from soil into river sediment, then into fish, and from fish consumption into people.

TL;DR: Signs of marked elevation of TCDD, the dioxin characteristic of Agent Orange, are found in some of the food products, including ducks with 276 ppt and 331 ppt wet weight, chickens from 0.35–48 pPT wet weight or 0.95–74 ppt lipid, and a toad with 56 ppt dry weight, which appears responsible for elevated T CDD in residents of Bien Hoa City.

TL;DR: To present the findings in a global perspective, data from widely different locations are presented including the United States, Germany, Vietnam, the former Soviet Union, Thailand, Cambodia, China, South Africa, and Guam.

TL;DR: Chlorinated dioxins and dibenzofurans have been reported in breast milk specimens from a number of countries in recent years and higher levels of PCDD/Fs are found in industrial areas than in non industrial areas.
