Dose-response curves of brominated dioxins

Caption

Relationship between exposure concentrations of TCDD (red line) or each brominated dioxin and mortality at 28 days post-fertilization. Comparing compounds with halogen substitutions at positions 2, 3, 7, and 8, the mixed halogenated compounds were more toxic than the tetrachlorinated （TCDD） and tetrabrominated (TeBDF) compounds.
