The problem of anthropogenic pollution of the environment by polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDD) has currently become a central problem. 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is reported to be the most hazardous. In light of this, the goal of this study was to examine acute and chronic toxicity of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin to mammalian species. The results led us to conclude that TCDD is one of the most toxic and ecologically hazardous synthetic chemicals known to humans. It may cause acute and chronic intoxications and ecological catastrophies. 5 refs., 3 tabs.
