Women with dioxin have fewer sons than girls
Women exposed to dioxin in the air are not only at increased risk of cancer but also give birth to boys less than girls. That is the result of research by Canadian scientists for 20,000 women in the country . This study - conducted by experts from the Center for Environment and Health IntrAmericas (Canada) - helped explain why some communities in Canada give birth to girls more than boys.
According to the research team, exposure to dioxin not only increases the risk of cancer, but also leads to more girls than boys, because this toxin imbalances sexual hormones.
Survey results showed that women exposed to dioxin within a radius of 25 km from pollution sources gave birth to girls more than boys. At the same time, exposure from a young age also leads to an increased risk of cancer later in the lives of those women.
The research team found that dioxins, which often arise from sources such as refineries, paper mills, metal furnaces, etc., have reduced the rate of male-female births from 51/49 to 46/54. .
However, according to experts, not only people living in areas contaminated by dioxins are affected by this poison, but people can also be exposed to dioxin by eating contaminated foods. dioxin.
Previously, the US Environmental Protection Agency studied this issue and found that meat, dairy products and freshwater fish could be more contaminated with dioxin than plant-based foods. And relatively, pork and chicken are less susceptible to dioxin than beef and milk.
