Abstract
Als Beitrag zur Organochlorkontrolle und der aufgenommenen Menge wurden Milch, Eier, Rindfleisch, Schweinekotlett, Wild, Tierleber sowie Lebertran auf PCB-, DDT- und Toxaphen-Verbindungen, Hexachlorbenzol (HCB), Heptachlor und Hexachlorocyclohexan (HCH) analysiert. Aus der jährlich eingenommenen Menge der analysierten Lebensmittel wurde die durchschnittlich aufgenommene Menge an Organochlor-Verbindungen berechnet und mit den von der FAO/WHO festgesetzten täglichen Mengen verglichen. Danach wurden diese Werte mit jenen von Fisch, Butter und Margarine verglichen. Die täglich aufgenommenen Mengen wurden daraus mit folgendem Ergebnis berechnet: PCB = 14,4 μg/Tag; DDT =2,9 μg/Tag; γ-HCH=2,3 μg/Tag; HCB=1,7 μg/Tag und Heptachlor =0,5 μg/Tag. As a contribution to the FAO/WHO organochlorine monitoring programme, samples of milk, eggs, beef pork, chops, game, animal livers as well as fish-liver oils were analysed for PCB-, DDT- and toxaphene compounds, hexachlorobenzene (HCB), heptachlor and hexachlorocyclohexanes (HCH). From the annual consumption of the foodstuffs investigated average intakes of organochlorines were estimated and compared with the acceptable daily intakes (ADI) as set by FAO/WHO. Intakes from the sources studied were then compared with those from fish, butter and margarine. Total average dietary intakes were determined to be 14.4 μg/day for PCB, 2.9 for DDT, 2,3 for γ-HCH, 1.7 for HCB, and 0.5 μg/day for heptachlor representing 0.08% of the ADI for DDT, 0.3% for HCH, 4.2% for HCB and 1.4% of the ADI for heptachlor.Keywords
