| Abstract |
The concentration of tetrachlorodibenzodioxin (TCDD) in the adipose tissue or blood lipids of 153 employees from 5 chemical plants producing trichlorophenol was measured. Dermatological, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, haematological, immunological, neurological, pulmonary and metabolic effects as well as the effects on the general health were determined through clinical and laboratory examinations. Regression analysis was used to study the relationship between the health findings and the measured doses. The cohort was found to have been exposed to above-background TCDD levels. None of the diagnosed health effects of TCDD were of statistical significance. |
