| Popis: | Sixty patients at hospitals in the north and south of Vietnam had adipose tissue dioxin (TCDD only or PCDD/F) analysis performed, 50 as individual TCDD or PCDD/F analyses, and 10 from the north in a pooled sample analysis. Dibenzodioxin and dibenzofuran adipose tissue levels are usually higher in persons from the south of Vietnam than in persons in the north. There is also a direct correlation between human age and PCDD/F levels. However, dibenzofurans, unlike dioxins, do not differ between persons from the north and south of Vietnam. Vietnam provides an opportunity for human health effects studies of PCDD/F exposure. |
