TI  - Halogenated environmental contaminants in fish from Estonian coastal areas.

AB  - Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), DDT-related substances and 
      hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) isomers were analysed in fish from Estonian coastal 
      waters. The content of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in fish (perch (Perca 
      fluviatilis) and flounder (Platichtys flesus)) from the coastal waters of Estonia 
      is not a danger to human health. Even the maximum concentrations that we have 
      determined are lower than the standards set by the World Health Organization 
      (WHO). The results do not exclude the need to monitor toxicants in fish also in 
      the future, because the use of hazardous chemicals in the Baltic Sea region will 
      probably continue.
