| Popis: | In this survey eighty-seven samples of consumption fish comprising mainly of salmon, pike, eel, herring, whitefish, sea-trout, perch, pike-perch, mackerel, cod, flounder, plaice and sole collected between 1992 - 1993 have been analysed for the levels of chlorinated pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Considering the diversity in the sizes and assortment, locations, and time of catch, the samples are deemed to represent the normal fish variety available to the local people at various seasons of the year. Virtually all the samples contained CB-153 levels below the new established maximum. limit of 0.1 mg/kg fresh weight. Results are compared with those obtained between 1985 and 1993. Neither the total PCB (on fat weight basis) nor CB 153 as a marker showed any clear trend for most of the fish species analysed, particularly for the short period 1991- 1993. The pesticides, on the other hand, showed a rather good downward trend up till 1991; some of them seem to have virtually attained a steady state after 1991. |
