AB  - Polychlorinated  dibenzo-p-dioxins  (PCDDs)  have  been  described  as  the  most  toxic  man-made  chemicals  known.  They  are  synthetic,  lipophilic,  and  very  persistent.  They  are  also  relatively  controversial.  Toxicological  studies  of  2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin  (2,3,7,8-TCDD),  which  is  known  as  the  most  toxic  congener  among  PCDDs  and  usually  called  Dioxin,  demonstrate  dose-dependent  toxic  responses  to  other  PCDDs  and  related  chemicals  such  as  the  polychlorinated  dibenzofurans  (PCDFs),  which  frequently  accompany  polychlorinated  biphenyls  (PCBs).  (Both  PCDFs  and  PCBs  are  chemically  and  biologically  similar  to  PCDDs.)  However,  the  findings  from  human  studies,  at  least  until  recently,  have  been  less  consistent.
