Abstract:
An attempt has been made to assess intake of chlordanes (CHLs) with seafood in Poland in 1970-1998. The average mean weighted concentration of chlordanes in Baltic fish has been calculated for 9.0 ng/g wet weight in herring and sprat, 0.63 ng/g wet weight in cod flesh, 1.2 ng/g in flatfish and 5.7 ng/g in other edible fishes. Intake of chlordanes with fish in Poland has been assessed for 31 to 47 micrograms/person/year, i.e. from 0.09 to 0.13 microgram/person/day.
