AB  - Human activities are emitting persistent organic pollutants (POPs) to the 
      environment. These compounds have raised concerns about the risk of transfer 
      through the food chain via animal products. They are characterized by a strong 
      persistence in environmental matrices and a lipophilicity which may lead to their 
      accumulation in fat tissues. In EU Regulations (no. 1881/2006, 1259/2011), 
      maximum acceptable levels for polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, polychlorinated 
      dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs), and dioxin-like or nondioxin-like polychlorinated 
      biphenyls (PCBs) in food of animal origin have been set. Transfer rates from 
      contaminated fodder to milk have been established: for PCBs, the rate of transfer 
      varies from 5 to 90% and for PCDD/Fs from 1 to 40%. The differential transfer of 
      the compounds towards milk is related to the hydrophobicity of the pollutants and 
      to their metabolic susceptibility. According to numerous authors, soil is the 
      major reservoir for POPs, and its involuntary ingestion by farm animals reared 
      outdoors may be the main cause of animal product contamination (meat, milk, or 
      eggs). Recent studies seem to indicate that soil is a real risk matrix in terms 
      of transfer of pollutants to the food chain. A POP crisis management is extremely 
      difficult, since it impacts many farmers located in the contaminated area. The 
      question arising is to know if livestock contaminated by POPs may be 
      decontaminated and further used for their initial purpose. Recent data 
      demonstrate that the decontamination process appear feasible and depends on 
      initial level of contamination or the physiological status of the animals.
