Abstract
Dioxins are mainly derived from human activities and have been included in the initial list of the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants; they are stable in the environment and enter organisms through various means. Epidemiological studies have shown that dioxins can cause health hazards to human skin, immunity, reproduction and development, cardiovascular system, and endocrine. Therefore, it is of great public health significance to carry out exposure monitoring and research on hazard mechanism of dioxins and propose reasonable prevention and control measures.
