Re: Belgian, worldwide dioxin contamination

["Jon Campbell" <jon@cqs.com>]

Hi, Larime,

      I remember a reference by Tony T. about it, but do not have a
reference myself.

      Tony, do you remember what it was that you referenced?

      Of course, it is very plausible because of the nature of TCDD. My
guess is that it was a probably a cellular dysfunction study.

Thanks
Jon
