AB  - In this study, contamination levels were determined for polychlorinated biphenyls 
      (PCBs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and perfluorinated alkylated 
      substances (PFASs) in traditional Greenland seafood items, such as raw and smoked 
      fish fillet (salmon and halibut), whale and seal meat and narwhal mattak (skin 
      and blubber). The daily intake of PCBs, PBDEs and PFASs through traditional 
      seafood items in Greenland was assessed. Based on the presented levels of 
      contaminants, in combination with earlier food intake studies, suggests that the 
      daily exposure was below the tolerable daily intake threshold for all compounds. 
      BDE-47 was the only PBDE-congener detected in all food items, except in smoked 
      halibut. The levels of BDE-47 varied from < LOD in smoked halibut up to 18 ng/g 
      lw in narwhal mattak and 21 ng/g lw in whale beef.  summation operatorPCB were lowest in smoked 
      halibut (37 ng/g lw) and highest in narwhal mattak with 1,146 ng/g lw. 
      Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) was the most common of the PFASs. However, 
      SigmaPFASs were below detection limits in most fish fillet samples, and varied from 
      2.9 ng/g ww in whale beef to 13.5 ng/g ww in seal beef. The present study shows 
      that the exclusion from the diet of local food items such as intestines and 
      blubber have a strong positive effect for the reduction of POPs levels in food, 
      without a reducing the health benefits of traditional food intake considerably.
