AB  - The organic carbon of biosolids from civil wastewater treatment plants binds 
      persistent organic pollutants (POPs), such as polychlorodibenzo -dioxins and 
      -furans (PCDD/Fs), dioxin and non-dioxin -like polychlorobiphenyls (DL and 
      NDL-PCBs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), and perfluorooctane sulfonic 
      acid (PFOS). The use of such biosolids, derived digestates and composts as top 
      soil improvers (TSIs) may transfer POPs into the food chain. We evaluated the 
      potential carry-over of main bioavailable congeners from amended soil-to-milk of 
      extensive farmed sheep. Such estimates were compared with regulatory limits (food 
      security) and human intakes (food safety). The prediction model was based on 
      farming practices, flocks soil intake, POPs toxicokinetics, and dairy products 
      intake in children, of the Mediterranean area. TSI contamination ranged between 
      0.20-113 ng WHO-TEQ/kg dry matter for PCDD/Fs and DL-PCBs (N = 56), 3.40-616 
      mug/kg for  summation operator6 NDL-PCBs (N = 38), 0.06-17.2 and 0.12-22.3 mug/kg for BDE no. 47 and 
      no. 99, 0.872-89.50 mug/kg for PFOS (N = 27). For a 360 g/head/day soil intake of 
      a sheep with an average milk yield of 2.0 kg at 6.5% of fat percentage, estimated 
      soil quality standards supporting milk safety and security were 0.75 and 4.0 ng 
      WHO-TEQ/kg for PCDD/Fs and DL-PCBs, and 3.75 and 29.2 mug/kg for  summation operator6 NDL-PCBs, 
      respectively. The possibility to use low-contaminated TSIs to maximize 
      agriculture benefits and if the case, to progressively mitigate highly 
      contaminated soils is discussed.
