[Long-term effects of dioxin on human health and sex ratio].
Extremely high dioxins exposure has been reported in 35 men dismantled an incinerator in Osaka, Japan. The average of the serum dioxin concentration in the workers was 680 pg, the maximum concentration was 5380 pg, these values were 200-300 times higher than normal healthy Japanese men(20-30 pg). The present article reviewed long-term effects of dioxins on human health and sex ratios after accidental dioxins exposure in Seveso, Italy, based on the recently published articles.
