DIOXINS: A HIGH ECOLOGICAL DANGER

Abstract

The article presents the literature review cocnerning a serious danger of propagation of dioxin compounds for human organism. In case of their ingress on skin a serious pathology occurs in form of chloracne involving into pathologic process the hepatobiliary system. The humoral immunity suppression is marked. The increment of activity of anti-inflammatory cytokines is noted. The development of embryo-toxic and mutagenic effects is increased. All these processes condition the formation of malignant neoplasms.

Keywords
