dioxin
The term dioxin colloquially summarizes a group of chemically similar chlorine-containing dioxins and furans. According to the Federal Environment Agency, 75 polychlorinated dibenzo-para-dioxins (PCDDs) and 135 polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) are covered by this term. They are unwanted byproducts that are produced in certain combustion processes of chlorine and organic carbon. Dioxin forms at over 300 degrees Celsius and is destroyed at 900 degrees Celsius and higher. In forest fires or volcanic eruptions, dioxins can naturally occur.

In food production, dioxin contamination may occur when chemical production processes are used or in animal husbandry soils or feed are contaminated with dioxin. In the past, there have been more frequent instances of loaded eggs because the chickens were kept on dioxin-contaminated soils. In humans, dioxins can be stored in body fat and accumulate there. High amounts can lead to symptoms of intoxication. Skin damage (chloracne), disorders of the immune system, nervous system, hormone balance, reproductive functions and enzyme systems can be the result of acute dioxin intoxication. In the long term, many dioxins also increase the risk of cancer. (Vb)
