In 1977, several Michigan dairy farms were quarantined by state regulatory officials because of suspected over-exposure of cattle to chemicals in penta treated wood and the possible adulteration of meat and milk with toxic substances. The primary concern was over the presence of polychlorodibenzo-p-dioxins (CDDs) and -furans (CDFs). Health problems in cattle from one farm were described by THOMAS et al. Since 1977, several toxicologic and toxicokinetic studies have been conducted.
