Association between Environmental Dioxin-Related Toxicants Exposure and Adverse Pregnancy Outcome: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Dioxin-related compounds are associated with teratogenic and mutagenic risks in laboratory animals, and result in adverse pregnancy outcomes. However, there were inconsistent results in epidemiology studies. In view of this difference, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to examine this association and to assess the heterogeneity among studies. Comprehensive literature searches w...

Health Risks from Dioxin and Related Compounds

Toxic effects of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin.

2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is a persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic contaminant widely distributed in the environment. Fishes are the most sensitive vertebrates to TCDD, especially during their early developmental stages. TCDD induces various toxic effects including yolk sac edema, craniofacial malformation and neural damage in developing fish embryos. However, the effects of ...
