| Abstract |
Report of a study in which 41 of 79 workers who developed chloracne due to exposure to tetrachlorodibenzodioxin (TCDD) were examined to establish their current state of health; comparisons were made with 54 persons in the same plant who had had possible TCDD exposure and 31 employees with no TCDD exposure. Examination highlighted effects related to mortality, morbidity, carcinogenesis, reproduction, teratogenicity, foetotoxicity, biochemistry, immunology and genetic change. Half the subjects who had developed chloracne still suffered from this complaint in a minor way; other than this, there was no essential difference found in any of the parameters studied between those individuals with clinical evidence of TDD exposure and those with no exposure. |
