According to a One Health perspective, the importance of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) must be assessed because of their impact on the environment, food chain and human health. However, information on these toxic compounds is limited in Latin America and the Caribbean region. Chile is no exception; therefore, this work aimed to explain previously reported dioxin levels in cow-milk samples by utilizing regression with meteorological/geographical data that were collected over a three-year survey. To accomplish this aim, a stepwise general multiple regression analysis was carried out for polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs), and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (dl-PCBs). The best statistical adjustments were achieved only for highly present congeners. Regarding PCDD/F congeners, the most relevant and significant (P
