| ChEBI ID | CHEBI:134045 |
| ChEBI Name | polychlorinated dibenzodioxines and related compounds |
| Stars | |
| Definition | Organochlorine compounds that are polychlorinated dibenzodioxines and structurally related entities that are persistant organic pollutants. These include polychlorinated dibenzofurans as well as polychlorinated and polybrominated biphenyls They vary widely in their toxicity, but their toxic mode of action is through the aryl hydrocarbon receptor. |

| Chemical Role: | persistent organic pollutant Any environmental contaminant that is resistant to environmental degradation through photolytic, biological or chemical processes. Such substances can have significant impact on health and the environment, as they persist in the environment, bioaccumulate in animal tissue and so biomagnify in food chains. |
