Within animals, dioxins tend to accumulate in fat. About 95% of the average person’s exposure to dioxins occurs through consumption of food, especially food containing animal fat. Scientists and health experts are concerned about dioxins because studies have shown that exposure may cause a number of adverse health effects.
