TI  - Occurrence of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), dibenzofurans (PCDFs) 
      and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in eggs from free-range hens in Campania 
      (southern Italy) and risk evaluation.

AB  - Hens' eggs collected in home-producing farms located in different areas of the 
      Campania region of southern Italy were analysed for six NDL-polychlorobiphenyls 
      (PCB indicators), 17 polychlorodibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and 
      polychlorodibenzofurans (PCDFs), and 12 congeners of dioxin-like PCBs (DL-PCBs). 
      In the investigated area, waste from civil, industrial and hospital activities 
      was illegally dumped and in many cases burned, so the area is called the 'Land of 
      fire'. This illicit practice has been considered the main source of pollution in 
      this territory and the cause of the persistent organic pollutants' (POPs) 
      contamination in the neighbouring lands intended for agricultural use and 
      livestock. The results, which were obtained from the analysis of 56 samples of 
      eggs, showed levels of contamination by dioxins and PCBs that have often exceeded 
      the action levels set by European Union Recommendation 711/2013 and sometimes 
      even exceeded the maximum levels set by Commission Regulation (EU) 1259/2011. The 
      median PCDD/Fs was 0.41 pg TEQ g(-1) fat (range = 0.01-6.18 pg TEQ g(-1) fat) and 
      the median concentration of DL-PCBs was 0.70 pg TEQ g(-1) fat (range = 0.01-14.60 
      pg TEQ g(-1) fat), whereas NDL-PCBs median was 7.35 ng g(-1) fat (range = 
      0.48-67.55 ng g(-1) fat). Nevertheless, the estimated weekly intake (EWI) 
      calculated for consumers of eggs home produced in Campania is lower than the 
      tolerable weekly intake (TWI) established by the European Union Scientific 
      Committee on Food (SCF).
