Abstract:
Dioxin-like compounds are a class of persistent organic pollutants(POPs).Because of their high toxicity, stability and bioaccumulation, they have serious effects on human health and environment.Studies on the toxicity of dioxins have involved in many aspects, such as reproduction toxicity, immune toxicity, carcinogenicity, endocrine toxicity, and so on.However, few studies of the effects on intelligence had been done,and its potential mechanism had not been reported till now.In this review, the authors tried to generalize the relationship between dioxins and intelligence based on animal behavioral tests and population investigations and hypothesize its potential mechanisms.
