How high is human exposure to dioxins in the EU?

According to the study on the Compilation of EU Dioxin exposure and health data (1999), the daily intake of dioxins and dioxin-like compounds is still above the levels recommended by the World Health Organisation (WHO) for some parts of the population, despite the fact that dioxin levels have been decreasing in the recent years in all countries for which data for the last 10 to 15 years are available. On average, exposure fell by 10% per year between the mid-eighties and the mid-nineties.
