TI  - Phthalates and perfluorinated alkylated substances in Atlantic bluefin tuna 
      (Thunnus thynnus) specimens from Mediterranean Sea (Sardinia, Italy): Levels and 
      risks for human consumption.
PG  - 661-667
AB  - Atlantic blue fin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) is a species of great importance for 
      Mediterranean Sea area, from both ecological and commercial points of view. The 
      scientific literature reports few data on the contamination of this fish by 
      emerging organic compounds such as perfluorinated alkylated substances(PFASs) and 
      phthalates, being the latter never been studied in tuna. This study therefore 
      investigated the presence of the PFASs perfluorooctane sulphonate (PFOS) and 
      perfluoroctanoic acid (PFOA) and the phthalate di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), 
      also monitored by its metabolite mono-2-ethylhexyl phthalate(MEHP), to assess 
      both the state of contamination of Atlantic bluefin tuna specimen and the risk 
      due to the toxicity of these compounds for human consumption. While PFOA was 
      never found, detectable levels of PFOS (0.4-1.88 ng/g), DEHP (9-14.62 ng/g) and 
      MEHP (1.5-6.30 ng/g) were found. The results were elaborated relating the 
      accumulation to the size and age of the individuals and showed a correlation 
      between the levels of different pollutants investigated.
