Schecter, A., Birnbaum, L., Ryan, J., Constable, J., 2006. Dioxins: An overview.
Environ Res. 2006 Jan 27; [Epub ahead of print]

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.
