Re: What form does the toxin dioxin take?

Your question could fill volumes.  Try looking at the following web 
sites.  Remember that everyone working on dioxin has an agenda or at least 
a slant on the problem.  Also, dioxin in not a chemical.  It is a class of 
chemicals.  When the name is misused as you have, it refers to a 
particular isomer that you will read about.

and go to www.epa.gov and do a search for the info you need.  Just dioxin 
gives >5000 hits.
