Tetrachlorodibenzodioxin: an accidental poisoning episode in horse arenas

CD Carter, RD Kimbrough, JA Liddle, RE Cline, MM Zack Jr, WF Barthel, RE Koehler, and PE Phillips

Tetrachlorodibenzodioxin was identified as the apparent cause of an outbreak of poisoning in humans, horses, and other animals. Exposure was related to the spraying of contaminated waste oil on riding arenas for dust control. The contamination resulted from improper disposal of a toxic industrial waste. The pathologic effects and chemical identification of tetrachlorodibenzodioxin are described.
