How do dioxin levels in New Zealand compare with the rest of the world?
The two sources referred to above at the New Zealand Ministry for the Environment website answer this question in detail. In summary, extensive studies of dioxin in blood serum, breast milk, food, marine life and soil all show that dioxin levels in New Zealand are low relative to many other parts of the world, and are generally falling. This is very consistent with other studies in many countries which show that dioxin levels in the environment are declining steadily.
