In general, dioxin compounds are environmental pollutants that are stable in nature and toxic to human and animal health and spread over a wide area. Dioxin-containing compounds are formed due to chemical reactions and high temperatures, and they pass into the human body, especially with animal foods, and are stored in the adipose tissue.

Dioxin-containing compounds cause immune system disorders and hormonal and reproductive system disorders in humans, especially cancer. It is very important to know the sources, chemical structures, mechanisms of action and toxicity levels of these compounds, their daily acceptable intake amounts and some poisoning effects in order to prevent the risks they pose by considering public health.
Dioxin compounds contain oxygen, carbon and hydrogen atoms in their structures, and they are chemical compounds that are shaped by the chlorination of these atoms and have a colorless and crystalline appearance in the liquid state. The toxic powers of these compounds differ according to the carbon atoms to which the chlorine groups are attached in the molecule. Likewise, if the number of chlorine attached to the molecule is eight, it is called octa chloro dibenzo dioxin (OCDD).
Octa chloro dibenzo dioxin, like other dioxins and dioxy-like substances, is extremely persistent in the environment. Many people take these chemicals with food. Octa chloro dibenzo dioxin, which enters the body through the food chain, has a durable and long half-life and accumulates in the body. Long-term exposure may pose an undesirable risk to humans.
In animal tests by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the lowest dioxin load that is harmful to humans has been determined as 14 ng/kg. Dioxin intake exceeding this amount increases the risk of cancer.
In short, dioxin is formed from many complex reactions involving chlorine. Dioxins are persistent in the environment. In this respect, it is very important to detect the presence and levels of octa chloro dibenzo dioxin and all dioxin species in environmental and food samples, in terms of protecting human health and preventing environmental pollution.
