2. 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzodioxin - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo...

   2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is a polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin (sometimes shortened, though inaccurately, to simply 'dioxin') [3] with the chemical formula C 12 H 4 Cl 4 O 2. Pure TCDD is a colorless solid with no distinguishable odor at room temperature.

3. Polychlorinated dibenzodioxins - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polychlorinated_dibenzodioxins

   They are commonly but inaccurately referred to as dioxins for simplicity, because every PCDD molecule contains a dibenzo-1,4-dioxin skeletal structure, with 1,4-dioxin as the central ring. Members of the PCDD family bioaccumulate in humans and wildlife because of their lipophilic properties, and may cause developmental disturbances and cancer.

   Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), or simply dioxins. PCDDs are derivatives of dibenzo -p- dioxin . There are 75 PCDD congeners , differing in the number and location of chlorine atoms, and 7 of them are specifically toxic, the most toxic being 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxin (TCDD).

5. Heptachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin - Wikipedia

   HpCDD alone is relatively ineffective in the promotion of tumors in female rats livers, but when DNA-synthesis is stimulated by epidermal growth factor, HpCDD acts as a co-mitogen. These effects are observed for different congeners of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, based on their affinity with the aryl-hydrocarbon receptor. [18]

6. 1,4-Dioxin - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1,4-Dioxin

   1,4-Dioxin (also referred as dioxin or p-dioxin) is a heterocyclic, organic, non-aromatic [2] compound with the chemical formula C 4 H 4 O 2. There is an isomeric form of 1,4-dioxin, 1,2-dioxin (or o -dioxin). 1,2-Dioxin is very unstable due to its peroxide -like characteristics.

7. Dioxin - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dioxin

   Dibenzo-1,4-dioxin, also known as dibenzodioxin or dibenzo-p-dioxin (molecular formula C 12 H 8 O 2), in which two benzene rings are connected through two oxygen atoms. That is the parent compound of the dioxins (see next in which the dioxins comprise a key part of the class).
