AB  - Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) 
      and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (dl-PCBs) are commonly known as dioxins 
      and are the most toxic members of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) because 
      present a variety of health effects especially as promoting agent of growing and 
      transformation of cancer cells. They are bio-accumulate in humans primarily via 
      the diet, specifically by ingestion of foods that have high lipid content which 
      are generally associated with foods of animal origin such as oils and fats and 
      with fishery and dairy products. In Colombia the Ministry of Health and Social 
      Protection which is the entity responsible for surveillance food conditions, has 
      established maximum levels for dioxins and dl-PCBs in oils from animal and 
      vegetable origins. Oils of vegetable and animal origin represent an appreciable 
      intake in the country thus the presence of dioxins and dl-PCBs in these materials 
      is a matter of concern because they can bioaccumulate in fat. In this 
      contribution the levels of PCDD/Fs and dl-PCBs in olive, soybean, fish oil, 
      butter and shrimp consumed in Colombia were determined using HRGC-HRMS and were 
      compared with the maximum levels permitted in oil samples according to both the 
      Colombian and European regulations. WHO-TEQ concentrations for PCDD/Fs and dioxin 
      like PCBs ranged from 0.24 to 1.710pgWHO-TEQ PCDD/Fg(-1) of fat and from 0.050 to 
      3.000pgWHO-TEQ PCBg(-1) of fat, respectively. As expected, fish oils and shrimp 
      present the highest WHO-TEQ PCDD/Fs and dl-PCBs values followed by butter and 
      soybean oil sample, while the olive oil shows the lowest levels. In general, the 
      vegetable oils show levels below the limits established by both the Colombian and 
      European regulations. The levels from soybean oil found in this study were 
      slightly higher than the threshold established both by the Commission Regulation 
      European Union (EU) and the Colombian legislation, while fish oils showed 
      concentrations above the European regulations. Furthermore, shrimp exhibited 
      values below the maximum concentration levels established by the EU and Colombian 
      regulation.
