On July 10, 1976, a cloud of vaporized products containing dioxin escaped from a deposit of a plant of the Icmesa firm in the northern suburbs of Milan. The fallout was deposited on a vast zone in the municipalities of Desio, Seveso, Meda, and Cesano. Dioxin was not the desired product of the industrial process, but rather an impurity which generally accompanies trichlorophenol, and, to a smaller extent, the products synthesized from trichlorophenol. Among these there are hexachlorophene and the herbicide 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid, which was used as a defoliant in the Vietnam War. After describing toxicological properties of dioxin, this paper examines the role of multinational corporations and of capitalist governments in exploiting not only the people of underdeveloped lands, but also workers of developed countries, transforming into capital not only the increased value of man, but also the conditions, harmfulness, and risks of work.
1976年7月10日，一团含有二噁英的汽化产物从米兰北郊伊克梅萨公司一家工厂的沉积物中逸出。沉降物落在德西奥、塞韦索、梅达和切萨诺等市的大片区域。二噁英并非工业生产过程中想要的产品，而是一种通常伴随三氯苯酚以及在较小程度上伴随由三氯苯酚合成的产品的杂质。其中包括六氯酚和除草剂2,4,5-三氯苯氧基乙酸，后者在越南战争中被用作落叶剂。在描述了二噁英的毒理学特性之后，本文考察了跨国公司和资本主义政府在不仅剥削欠发达国家人民，而且剥削发达国家工人方面所起的作用，它们不仅将人的增加值转化为资本，还将工作条件、有害性和风险转化为资本。
