Dioxins and furans in the atmosphere
Some individuals or groups of
individuals may be exposed to higher levels of dioxins because of their diets (e.g., high
consumers of fish in certain parts of the world) or their occupations (e.g., workers in the pulp
and paper industry, in incineration plants and at hazardous waste sites, to name just a few).
