TI  - PCB residues in the tissues of sea ducks wintering on the south coast of the 
      Baltic Sea, Poland.

AB  - The Baltic Sea is known to be severely polluted by a range of chemicals, one 
      group of which being PCBs. Although the use and production of PCBs were limited 
      or banned in many countries in the 1970s, their presence is still observed in the 
      environment. The aim of this study was to evaluate PCBs concentration in four 
      species of diving sea ducks, interspecies and tissues differences, and in the 
      case of game species, comparison of the obtained results with maximal residue 
      levels (MRLs) and tolerable weekly intake (TWI). The level of Sigmai-PCBs was noted 
      in most examined samples (liver, muscle, fat tissue) at levels ranging between 
      < LoD and 2315.45 ng/g lw. The dominant congener was PCB 153, followed by PCB 180 
      and 138. The mean dl-PCB-TEQ value in the muscles of the tested tufted ducks and 
      common pochards was 0.31 and 0.71 pg-TEQ/g lw, respectively, which is 8-25 and 
      18-57% of the TEQ maximum limit (ML) value for farm animal muscles. The average 
      decrease in i-SigmaPCB concentration in the fat tissue of ducks wintering in the 
      Baltic Sea southern coast was found to be 2.9-3.3%/year. The analysis of PCB 
      residues indicates that the common pochard and tufted duck are not suitable for 
      consumption due to high Sigmai-PCB concentrations. However, the regular consumption 
      of muscle and liver of game birds does not result in an unacceptable intake of 
      dl-PCBs, i.e., above the TWI value.
