[Evaluation of environmental exposure on persistent and toxic organic halogens]

The environmental concentrations of the persistent organohalogen compounds has been presented basing on the own results which were compared with the data published by the other authors. The predicted exposure of Polish population to PCDDs and PCDFs including combustion processes as a main potential source of the exposure has also been discussed. Analysis of the breast milk from Silesia region in Poland showed no substantial difference as compared to milk in other European countries.
