J MISSOURI DIOXIN - HEALTH EFFECTS 1. No health effects have been demonstrated thus far, including no chloracne. Apparently there was no chloracne even when the dioxin was fresh, back in 1971. At that time, the exposure level was 10-30 times higher than at present. 2. A recommendation on a safe level for dioxin in soil should not be written until the basis for the CDC 1 ppb has been released. 3. CDC has stated repeatedly that industry's experiences with dioxins were the result of one-time exposures or accidents. Actually, most or all of these exposures were the result of many years of production of chlorophenols. 4. The Canadians, the British, the Veterans Administration, the ranch hand study, and the AMA would indicate that there are little or no health effects from dioxins. 5. Exposure to dioxins has been ongoing by the public and from the users of 2,4,5-T for 30+ years without evidence of adverse effects. G.
