Persistent Halogenated Hydrocarbons in Consumer Fish of China: Regional and Global Implications for Human Exposure

Persistent Halogenated Hydrocarbons in Consumer Fish of China: Regional and Global Implications for Human Exposure

Concentrations of persistent halogenated hydrocarbons (PHHs) were determined in 13 consumer fish species (a total of 390 individuals) collected from a major fish-farming region of China. The potential health risks of PHHs associated with consumption of fish from China was also systematically assesse...

Zusammenfassung:Concentrations of persistent halogenated hydrocarbons (PHHs) were determined in 13 consumer fish species (a total of 390 individuals) collected from a major fish-farming region of China. The potential health risks of PHHs associated with consumption of fish from China was also systematically assessed regionally and globally. In all fish samples, DDTs, HCHs, PCBs, and PBDEs were the predominant PHH residues, with the median levels (ranges) being 6.0 (0.14−698.9), 0.50 (0.13−24.06), 0.10 (
