AB  - Residues of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) were analysed in 70 selected 
      food items from Northwest Russia in 1998-2002. Levels of PCBs ranged from 0.2 to 
      16ng/g wet weight (ww) in dairy products and fats, 0.2 to 23ng/g ww in meat 
      products, 0.5 to 16ng/g ww in eggs and 0.3 to 30ng/g ww in fish. High levels of 
      DDT (16ng/g ww) were found in locally produced butter from Kola Peninsula, in 
      pork fat from Arkhangels region (10 to 130ng/g ww) and in some fish samples from 
      White Sea and Kargopol region (17 and 30ng/g ww). Findings of low DDE/DDT ratios 
      in many of the studied food items indicated recent contamination to DDTs. Mean 
      levels of sum TEQs(WHO1998) of dioxin-like mono-ortho PCBs: PCBs 105, 118, 156 
      and 157 ( summation operatormo-PCBs-TEQs(WHO1998)) were highest in dairy products, chicken eggs and 
      fish, with levels of 0.292, 0.245 and 0.254pg/g ww, respectively. The estimated 
      daily intake (EDI) for  summation operatormo-PCBs-TEQs(WHO1998) was 0.74pg/kgbw/day and in the same 
      range as in Sweden and Denmark. Fish, dairy products, eggs and meat were the main 
      contributors to the EDI of  summation operatormo-PCBs-TEQs(WHO1998). The EDIs of DDTs, HCHs and HCB 
      were several times higher than in Sweden and Denmark. Consumption of meat and 
      poultry were important sources for intake of DDTs and HCHs, respectively. 
      Contamination of animal feed and agricultural practice were assumed the most 
      important causes for the results in the present study. However, increased control 
      on maximum residue levels in food and feed may have resulted in large changes on 
      levels and patterns of POPs in food in the studied areas.
