Dioxins and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (DL-PCBs) are hazardous toxic,
ubiquitous and persistent chemical compounds, which can enter the food chain and …

The transfer of dioxins from contaminated soil into the food chain has recently become an up-
and-coming topic in the environmental policy and health-related consumer protection. Within …

In 2008 the Italian government classified the Bussi sul Tirino area (Central Italy) as Site of
National Interest destined to remediation which, unfortunately, has not yet begun. The …
