Abstract
⺠We surveyed residents of a community with known dioxin contamination. ⺠The survey explored residents' mental models of dioxins and exposure pathways. ⺠Many community residents appear not to understand that dioxins are hydrophobic. ⺠Mistrust of government predicts beliefs that dioxins are present in water. ⺠Beliefs about dioxins in water predict beliefs about water-based exposure pathways.
