Dioxin and furan (PCDD/PCDF) levels in human blood and human milk of people living in a PCDD/PCDF contaminated area

In the surrounding of a cable pyrolysis plant in Southern Germany increased PCDD/PCDF levels were found in soil. PCDD/PCDF content in the milk of cows, in eggs, and fish from this area was determined. Milk samples showed an increase of penta-, hexa-, and hepta-CDF. Human milk samples as well as bloo...

Zusammenfassung:	In the surrounding of a cable pyrolysis plant in Southern Germany increased PCDD/PCDF levels were found in soil. PCDD/PCDF content in the milk of cows, in eggs, and fish from this area was determined. Milk samples showed an increase of penta-, hexa-, and hepta-CDF. Human milk samples as well as blood samples which were investigated showed similar changes. With regard to the food chain comparison of PCDD/PCDF concentrations between soil, food, human milk, and blood will be presented.
