Dioxins: an overview.

چکیده
This review article summarizes what is known about human health following exposure to dioxins. It is meant primarily for health professionals but was also written with the general public in mind. The need for such an article became apparent to the authors following media inquiries at the time the then Ukraine presidential candidate Victor Yushchenko was deliberately poisoned with the most toxic dioxin, tetrachlorodibenzodioxin or TCDD.

QSAR Studies of the Dioxins and Interaction of OCDD with Calix[4] Arene Using DFT
Quantum chemical calculations, based on Density Functional Theory (DFT) method, were performed on Calix[4]arene and Polychlorinated Dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) in gas and liquid phases for comparison purposes. The simulation results show the 1,2,3,4, 6,7,8,9-octachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (OCDD) is quite a reactive dioxin. This paper attempts to examine the possibility of dioxin adsorption by Calix[n...
