abstract
A scientific evaluation was made of the mechanisms of action of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, dibenzofurans and biphenyls. Distinction is made between the aryl-hydrocarbon (Ah) receptor-mediated and non-Ah receptor-mediated toxic responses. Special attention is paid to the applicability of the toxic equivalency factor (TEF) concept.
