Dioxin is the name of a large chemical compound and is part of a toxic substance family with similar chemical structures. These compounds containing carbon, oxygen, chlorine, and hydrogen are usually a result of environmental contamination processes. In fact, Dioxins and Furans are not produced for any specific purpose. However, they can occur as byproducts when products such as herbicides are created.
These toxic compounds are commonly found as environmental pollutants. They present in environments such as air, water and soil, and can enter our body in this way. Approximately 90% of exposure occurs through consuming contaminated foods. Therefore, it is important to be cautious when consuming foods such as seafood, milk, and meat.
