AB  - Organochlorine pesticides are persistent lipophilic organic pollutants and tend 
      to accumulate in growing plants. During growth, cork is in contact with the open 
      air for long periods (9-12 years). Owing to the previous widespread use of 
      organochlorine pesticides and their high persistence in the environment, there is 
      a risk that residues of such pesticides may be present in cork. In this study, 
      the concentrations of 14 organochlorine pesticides-all of which are indicators of 
      environmental pollution-were analyzed in cork bark samples from three regions in 
      Spain and one in Portugal. In addition, the concentrations of 
      2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP) and 2,4,6-trichloroanisole (TCA) were also analyzed. 
      Our results show only very low concentrations of lindane, gamma-HCH (<2.6 ng g(-1)) 
      and its byproducts alpha-HCH (<3.5 ng g(-1)) and beta-HCH (<0.6 ng g(-1)). Among the DDT 
      and its metabolites, only two were found: p,p'-DDT was found in a cork sample 
      from Extremadura (0.1 ng g(-1)) and p,p'-DDE was present at a maximum 
      concentration of 2.9 ng g(-1) in a cork sample from Castile-La Mancha. However, 
      all concentrations were well below the legal limit established by Regulation (EC) 
      No. 396/2005 (10 ng g(-1) in foodstuffs). We can conclude, therefore, that the 
      cork samples we studied complied with food safety standards.
