Dioxin Researchers have linked an increase in the inci-dence of breast cancer in Italy to dioxin released by an industrial accident in 1976. The study identified 981women who lived near the site of the accident and were under age 40 at the time. Fifteen of the women had devel-oped breast cancer at an unusually young average age of 45. Medical records showed that they had heightened con-centrations of dioxin in their blood and that each tenfold increase in dioxin level was associated with a doubling ofthe risk of breast cancer.
