Description
Estimated dioxin exposure levels among Hämeenkyrö inhabitants are compared with the evidence about exposure-response functions of dioxins. This comparison results in an assessment of the probable health effects among Hämeenkyrö inhabitants if MSWI plant is build. Short-term effects are not included at this stage. R↻
