Current Initiative – Dioxin

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has released its “reassessment” of dioxin’s toxicity. The EPA states that the risk of developing cancer from dioxin may be 10 times higher than reported in 1994.

Dioxins are a family of chemical compounds unintentionally produced in a variety of industrial processes, including incineration and chlorine-based paper bleaching. In addition to cancer, dioxins may cause learning disabilities, IQ deficits and hyperactivity.

Now that dioxin toxicity is better recognized, we need to work together to eliminate the sources of dioxin, protecting our health and the environment.

Dioxin Report By EPA On Hold
“The chemical, beef and poultry industries are waging an intense campaign to delay an EPA study showing that consumption of animal fat and dairy products containing traces of dioxin can cause cancer in humans.”
