  • The Amsterdam-Zaandam cohort has been studied intermittently since 1987. The cohort was selected for optimal pregnancy and birth, in whom prenatal, lactational and more recently current dioxin exposures were measured. In the perinatal period and during the years thereafter, effects on various organ systems have been documented: thyroid, metabolism, immunity, haematology, motor development, brain development, lung function and puberty. We present a review of the endpoints studied, from the perinatal period into adolescence.
