Re: elevated dioxin levels in Mossville

["Dian R. Deevey" <dian@atlantic.net>]

Neil Tangri at essential.org recently posted information
about elevated levels of dioxin revealed by blood tests of a
population of 28 people.  He cites toxicologist Ken
Orloff's as reporting the following:

          "The real issue in our mind, at this point, is
          what is the source of this exposure and we
          don't know at this time. However, we are
          proposing that some additional sampling be
          done, specifically testing of water, sediment
          and fish from the bayous and of ambient air."
          Another significant finding is that updated
          testing shows dioxin levels have fallen in the
          general population. That means the gap is
          wider than first thought between most people
          and Mossville residents.

    Where can I obtain more information about dioxin levels
     in humans, fish and so forth in the the US and elsewhere?
