Abstract Contents of this report: properties and formation of 2,3,7,8 - tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD); literature survey (roundups, 3 computer searches, data analysis); situation in the Netherlands (attitude of the public authorities, commentaries); safety measures (collective and personal protection); conclusions: the TCDD hazard is not adequately met so long as the production and transformation of this substance is not banned internationally. This situation encourages research and requires very strict precautions to be taken. Information on on-going research, a computer print-out and extracts from debates in the Netherlands Parliament (questions tabled, replies from the Minister of Public Health) are appended.
