    The front of the postcard provides a short description on Soil contamination(definition, cause, key facts) while the back gives the worldwide conditions and trends by region. The data given here is derived from information published in the Status of the World's Soil Resources report, released in December 2015.

    The Report and the Technical Summary are available at the links below:

    The common term dioxins is often used for a number of chemically related lipophilic compounds (polychlorinated dibenzo-para dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs), including certain dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) with similar toxic properties. However, the denomination of dioxin is given to 2,3,7,8-tetrachloro-dibenzo-para-dioxin (TCDD). Of the identified 419 types of dioxin-related compounds, which have a dioxin-like chemical structure, only about 30 are conside red to have significant toxicity, with TCDD being the most toxic. Although dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs (for convenience herein after referred to as “dioxins”) show similarities in their toxicological and chemical behaviour, their sources may be different.
