compounds</b> comprise a group of chemicals including polychlorinated dibenzo<i>-p-</i>dioxins (PCDD) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDF), as well as certain dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (dl-PCB), and potentially others. They act via a common mechanism, stimulation of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AH receptor, AHR), a vital transcription factor in cells. There are very high differences in potency among these compounds, i.e. in the ability to stimulate the receptor. This leads to ten thousand fold or higher differences in doses causing similar toxic effects. Most of these compounds are eliminated very slowly in the environment, animals, or humans, which makes them persistent. They are much more soluble in fat than in water, and therefore they tend to accumulate in lipid or fatty tissues, and concentrate along the food web (bioaccumulation and biomagnification). <p>PCDD/PCDFs are formed mostly as side products in burning processes, but PCBs were oils manufactured for many purposes. Because of toxicity and persistence, dioxin-like compounds have been regulated strictly since 1980s, and their levels in the environment and animals have decreased by an order of magnitude or more. Therefore the effects on wildlife have clearly decreased, and even populations at the top of the food web such as fish-eating birds or seals have recovered after serious effects on their reproductive capacity and developmental effects in their young especially in 1970s and 1980s. This does not exclude the possibility of some remaining effects. </p><p>In humans the intake is mostly from food of animal sources, but because our diet is much more diverse than that of such hallmark animals as white-tailed eagles or seals, the concentrations never increased to similar levels. However, during 1970s and 1980s effects were probably also seen in humans, including developmental effects in teeth, sexual organs, and the development of immune systems. </p><p>Both scientists and administrative bodies debate at the moment about the importance of remaining risks. This is very important, because the AH receptors seem to be physiologically important regulators of growth and development of organs, immunological development, food intake and hunger, and in addition regulate enzymes protecting us from many chemicals. Thus a certain level of activation is needed, although inappropriate stimulation of the receptor is harmful. This dualism emphasizes the importance of benefit versus risk analysis. As a whole, regulating the emissions to the environment is still highly important, but one should be very cautious in limiting consumption of important and otherwise healthy food items and e.g. breast feeding. </p><p>Distinct toxic effects of high doses of dioxins in humans have been clearly demonstrated by frank poisonings and the highest occupational exposures. Hallmark effects have been skin lesions called chloracne, various developmental effects of children, and a slightly increased risk of total cancer rate. The highest dioxin levels have been ten thousand fold higher than those seen in the general population today. <br /><br /><b>Note:</b> This review is based on original studies and scientific reviews, independently of existing Wikipedia articles, and as interpreted by author's 35 year experience in dioxin research.

High toxicity means that even low doses or low exposure levels are sufficient to produce toxic responses. Compounds with lower affinity for the AH receptor require higher doses to elicit similar toxic effects. Low-affinity compounds (e.g. some PCBs, usually at relatively high doses) can elicit toxic effects that are different from those of characteristic dioxin-like effects of chemicals such as 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-<i>p</i>-dioxin (TCDD). </p><p>Dioxins are a puzzling group of chemicals that have widely diverse effects in different cell-types, tissues and animal species. Many lay people consider them only dreaded environmental “superpoisons”. But they are also highly interesting tools for studying the mechanisms of intracellular receptors, gene expression, growth and development of organs, metabolism of chemicals in the body, carcinogenesis, food intake and hunger, as well as interactions of chemicals, microbes and immunological systems. The AH receptor, the mediator of dioxin toxicity seems to be an important physiological actor in the body, a ligand-activated transcription factor functionally similar but structurally unrelated to intracellular receptors such as steroid or thyroid receptors. This reminds us of the ultimate principle of Paracelsus: all things are poisons, only the dose makes that a thing is not a poison. AH receptors are necessary for many normal biological functions,<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Rothhammer19_8-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Rothhammer19-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and their physiological activation regulates our wellbeing, but their inappropriate activation leads to multiple forms of toxicity. </p><p>The best studied compound is the most toxic 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo<i>-p-</i>dioxin (TCDD). The toxicity of other compounds is compared with this prototype. TCDD is assigned a toxicity equivalence factor (TEF) of 1. The potency and toxicokinetics of other compounds vary over orders of magnitude, and therefore each compound is assigned its own TEF that may range from 1 to 0.000 03 (or lower for fish, see below). The TEF for each compound forms the basis for defining toxic equivalency (TEQ) when assessing the toxicity of mixtures. </p><p>The metabolism and excretion of dioxins in mammals is generally very slow. Dioxins are also persistent and accumulate in the biosphere. Due to slow accumulation to animals and humans, delayed toxicity is the typical mode of harmful effects and the delay between exposure and effect complicates the assessment of risk from dioxins. Developmental adverse effects are seen at the lowest doses. </p><p>A few dramatic cases of accidental or deliberate acute poisoning are known. Two women were poisoned in Vienna, Austria, in 1998 by large doses of TCDD. In 2004 Victor Yushchenko, then presidential candidate of Ukraine, was deliberately poisoned with a huge dose of TCDD. A widely known dioxin accident took place in Seveso, Italy in 1976. These and similar high-dose incidents have delineated the acute effects on humans. As described in detail later in this article it is more difficult to ascertain, precisely, what are the human health effects of chronic low-dose exposures to dioxin-like compounds. This remains a contentious issue of importance to regulatory agencies as well as to the general public. For a short account of historical legacies of dioxins see Weber et al.<sup id="cite_ref-Weber08_10-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Weber08-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Due to intensive research efforts dioxin toxicity is known and understood better than that of most environmental toxic agents.

So-called lateral chlorine substitutions at the positions 2,3,7, and 8 (Fig. 1) allow the dioxins to bind to the AH receptor with high affinity. They also prevent enzymatic attacks on the molecule causing persistence both in human body and in the environment. Such compounds are particularly toxic and constitute the prototype for dioxin-like toxicity. TEF values have been assigned to 17 congeners (seven dibenzo<i>-p-</i>dioxins and ten dibenzofurans) having four to eight chlorine substitutions. Chlorines in excess of the four (2,3,7 and 8) decrease the potency, but the type of toxic effects remains mainly the same.<sup id="cite_ref-Berg06_11-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Berg06-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p><span class="anchor" id="Figure_1"></span> <span class="anchor" id="Fig_1"></span> <span class="anchor" id="Fig._1"></span> <span class="anchor" id="Image_1"></span> <span class="anchor" id="Figure1"></span> <span class="anchor" id="Fig1"></span> <span class="anchor" id="Fig.1"></span> <span class="anchor" id="Image1"></span> </p> <div style="text-align: left; float:right; clear:right; padding:10px 0px 15px 10px;"> <div style="font-size: 90%; line-height: 1.3em; width: calc(400px );"> <div style="position:relative;"> <p><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Structures_of_dibenzo-p-dioxin,_2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin_and_2,3,4,7,8-pentachlorodibenzofurane.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1a/Structures_of_dibenzo-p-dioxin%2C_2%2C3%2C7%2C8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin_and_2%2C3%2C4%2C7%2C8-pentachlorodibenzofurane.svg/400px-Structures_of_dibenzo-p-dioxin%2C_2%2C3%2C7%2C8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin_and_2%2C3%2C4%2C7%2C8-pentachlorodibenzofurane.svg.png" decoding="async" width="400" height="70" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1a/Structures_of_dibenzo-p-dioxin%2C_2%2C3%2C7%2C8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin_and_2%2C3%2C4%2C7%2C8-pentachlorodibenzofurane.svg/600px-Structures_of_dibenzo-p-dioxin%2C_2%2C3%2C7%2C8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin_and_2%2C3%2C4%2C7%2C8-pentachlorodibenzofurane.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1a/Structures_of_dibenzo-p-dioxin%2C_2%2C3%2C7%2C8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin_and_2%2C3%2C4%2C7%2C8-pentachlorodibenzofurane.svg/800px-Structures_of_dibenzo-p-dioxin%2C_2%2C3%2C7%2C8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin_and_2%2C3%2C4%2C7%2C8-pentachlorodibenzofurane.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="1750" data-file-height="305" /></a></span> </p> </div> <div class="thumbcaption" style="font-weight: normal;"> Structures of dibenzo-p-dioxin, 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin and 2,3,4,7,8-pentachlorodibenzofuran </div> <p><br /> </p> </div></div> <p>There are 209 PCB-compounds.

They seem to play important developmental roles in neuronal differentiation and regulation of feeding-related aggregation behaviour or in regulation of normal morphogenesis.<sup id="cite_ref-Linden10_56-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Linden10-56"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>53<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-57" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-57"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>54<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-58" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-58"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>55<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-59" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-59"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>56<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Bock17_60-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Bock17-60"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>57<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p><span class="anchor" id="Figure_4"></span> <span class="anchor" id="Fig_4"></span> <span class="anchor" id="Fig._4"></span> <span class="anchor" id="Image_4"></span> <span class="anchor" id="Figure4"></span> <span class="anchor" id="Fig4"></span> <span class="anchor" id="Fig.4"></span> <span class="anchor" id="Image4"></span> </p> <div style="text-align: left; float:right; clear:right; padding:10px 0px 15px 10px;"> <div style="font-size: 90%; line-height: 1.3em; width: calc(400px );"> <div style="position:relative;"> <p><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:AHR_functional_domains.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e2/AHR_functional_domains.svg/400px-AHR_functional_domains.svg.png" decoding="async" width="400" height="96" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e2/AHR_functional_domains.svg/600px-AHR_functional_domains.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e2/AHR_functional_domains.svg/800px-AHR_functional_domains.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="1476" data-file-height="353" /></a></span> </p> </div> <div class="thumbcaption" style="font-weight: normal;"> The structure of AHR.

Although it is structurally different, the AHR acts as a transcription factor analogously to the nuclear receptors such as steroid receptors or thyroid receptors. The AHR is a ligand-activated transcription factor that integrates environmental, dietary, microbial and metabolic cues to control complex transcriptional programmes in a ligand-specific, cell-type-specific and context-specific manner.<sup id="cite_ref-Rothhammer19_8-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Rothhammer19-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The AHR exists in the cytosol in a protein complex including several proteins (Fig. 5).

The green bars represent the AHR, red bars ARNT, yellow bars ARA9 (AIP, Xap2), blue bars HSP90 and the blue ovals p23. Dioxin binding to the AHR (1.) leads to its translocation into the nucleus by importin-β, (2.) heterodimerization with ARNT and binding to the DNA at DREs, (3.) modulating expression levels of target genes (green arrows). One of the gene products elevated by this mechanism is AHRR, a repressor protein which forms a feedback loop that inhibits AHR action. The AHR is finally degraded by the ubiquitin–proteasome system (4.). AHR activation can also rapidly increase intracellular Ca2+ concentration (5.) which in turn may ultimately result in augmented Cox2 gene expression. Elevation of Ca2+ activates CaMKs, which appear to have a critical role in the translocation of the AHR. Another example of effects mediated by the AHR via non-canonical pathways is suppression of acute-phase proteins (6.) which does not involve DNA binding. </div> <p><span class="plainlinks" style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><br />(simplified and modified from Lindén et al.).<sup id="cite_ref-Linden10_56-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Linden10-56"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>53<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>, Jouko Tuomisto</span></span> </p> </div></div> <p>In addition to this canonical pathway, some actions of dioxins and AHR are mediated via non-canonical pathways.

Hence a certain level of AH receptor activity is important in normal biology, but inappropriate activation leads to a number of deleterious effects. </p><p>The most sensitive adverse effects of dioxins are developmental consequences in different structures, from teeth and bones to sexual organs. This concerns specifically women in child-bearing age, because a child is exposed prenatally during pregnancy as well as postnatally via breast milk. The exposure is higher than in other population groups. The safety margins between the current environmental exposure levels and the levels required for sensitive adverse effects are presently about an order of magnitude, but the safe level was probably exceeded in the 1970s and 1980s. Transgenerational effects of these historical high exposures (causing milk dioxin levels of 50 to 100 pg TEQ per g fat, tenfold to contemporary levels) are of concern, but are so far poorly known. </p><p>Carcinogenicity has caused confusion, because it probably occurs at high industrial or accidental exposure levels, but dioxins are not genotoxic, and there is neither good evidence nor logical reason to assume that dioxins would cause cancer at levels below those causing developmental effects. </p><p>It is essential to understand dioxins as one risk factor among others rather than as a sole causative agent. This means that dose-responses should be appreciated in regulations as with any other chemical, and benefit-risk aspects should be carefully taken into account. Otherwise unwise remedy may turn out to be worse than the disease. It is risk management and political issue to decide how large safety margins are necessary. </p><p>In conclusion, strict environmental controls of dioxin emissions are still important and they should be the first priority. Limitations of important food items are problematic, and it is important to avoid measures that would increase competing risks. This danger is obvious when overregulating the levels in food. The benefits of e.g. breast feeding are estimated clearly greater than possible risks of contaminants, and the nutritional benefits of fish consumption also outweigh toxic effects, if any. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Additional_information">Additional information</h2></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Acknowledgements">Acknowledgements</h3></div> <p>I appreciate the comments of several colleagues screening through the manuscript: Prof. Allan B.
