[Exposure level and characteristics of dioxins in children living near the waste incineration power plant].

Objective: To study the internal and external dioxins exposure level of children living near the waste incineration power plant.

Methods: Peripheral blood of children (90 in S, 60 in L), soils, crucians, chicken eggs were sampled in town S (1 km away from a big waste incineration power plant), as well as in town L (200 km away from S), which is the control. The contents, distribution characteristics and toxic equivalent (TEQ) of dioxins in samples were evaluated by ultra-trace detection methods.
