Abstract excerpt
A comparative analysis was performed of the phenotype and function of peripheral blood leukocytes of two age-matched cohorts of industrial workers in chemical plants, one of which was exposed occupationally to high concentrations of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD). Median actual TCDD b...
