TI  - PCDDs, PCDFs, PCBs and DDE in edible marine species from the Adriatic Sea.
PG  - 601-10
AB  - Edible marine species from several areas of the Adriatic sea were analyzed for 
      their content in persistent organic pollutants (POPs), such as polychlorinated 
      dibenzodioxins (PCDDs), dibenzofurans (PCDFs), biphenyls (PCBs), and pp'-DDE 
      (dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene), a metabolite of the organochlorine pesticide 
      dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT). On the whole, PCDD/F contamination levels 
      were low. In general, I-TEQ findings were greater for those species at higher 
      levels in the trophic web (mackerel > red mullet > anchovy). Contamination levels 
      were within 0.23 and 1.07 pg TEQ/g fw (fresh weight) in the aforesaid species, 
      while all remaining species exhibited contamination levels ranging from 
      approximately 0.07 to 0.25 pg TEQ/g fw. Besides, TEQ cumulative findings in 
      species from the northern area were in general greater than those from the 
      central and southern areas. PCB cumulative findings in the samples also revealed 
      a detectable difference in contamination levels in species obtained from the 
      northern, central, and southern sampling sites, between 7.6 and 177, 2.3 and 157, 
      and 4.5 and 94 ng/g fw, respectively. The greatest PCB concentrations were found 
      in mackerel (94-177 ng/g fw). Finally, DDE concentration levels varied from 0.7 
      to 32.4 ng/g fw. The highest levels of contamination were found in mackerel, red 
      mullet and anchovy (17.7-32.4 ng/g fw, 8.1-9.8 ng/g fw, and 6.4-11.9 ng/g fw, 
      respectively).
