AB  - In Finland, consumption of Baltic fatty fish may lead to high exposure to 
      persistent organic pollutants (POPs), which might have hazardous health effects. 
      Monitoring of POPs in Baltic fish enables the health authorities to keep dietary 
      advice on fish consumption up to date. In this study, which is a compilation of 
      analytical data from earlier studies, time trends and congener profiles of 
      polychlorinated dioxins and furans (PCDD/Fs) and biphenyls (PCBs), and 
      polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in Baltic herring are reported. Altogether 
      344 samples of Baltic herring from 1978-2009 were collected across the Finnish 
      coast of the Baltic Sea. The chemical analysis was performed in an accredited 
      testing laboratory with high resolution gas chromatography mass spectrometry. 
      During the 31-year period, PCDD/F and PCB concentrations decreased on 
      approximately 80%, from approximately 20 to 5 pg/g fw, expressed as WHO2005 TEQ. 
      The PBDE concentrations experienced a 4-10 fold increase during late 1980s-early 
      1990s, and declined to 1978s levels of approximately 2 ng/g fw by 2009. The 
      current concentrations of PCDD/Fs, PCBs and PBDEs in Baltic herring are 
      relatively low, and mostly below EU maximum accepted levels, and are expected to 
      continue decreasing. In the future, it may be possible to re-evaluate the 
      consumption restrictions for this specific Baltic fatty fish.
