title: High fish-specific dioxin concentrations in Finland.
abstract: Dioxin concentrations in a population that frequently eat fish from the Baltic Sea are comparable to those seen in inhabitants of Seveso, Italy, after the accidental release of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) in 1976. Individual variations in the congener patterns in human beings are similar to congener patterns in the fish species consumed.
