“…The congener profiles in fish from the different parts of the Baltic Sea area revealed resemblance in most studied cases [18,25]. Among congeners of PCDD/F, in Baltic fish, TCDF and PeCDF predominated, what was confirmed by the results of presented study (Figure 3a).…”

“…Among congeners of PCDD/F, in Baltic fish, TCDF and PeCDF predominated, what was confirmed by the results of presented study (Figure 3a). The 1,2,3,7,8-PeCDD followed by 2,3,4,7,8-PeCDF are the main contributors to the sum of toxicity (WHO-TEQ) in Baltic fish and at the same air deposition indicators [12,25]. In Atlantic cod, only HpCDD and OCDD were identified but surprisingly, at comparable levels as the Baltic fish (Figure 2a).…”

The study presents the analysis of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, dibenzofurans (PCDD/F) and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (dl-PCB) in fish and seabirds from the Baltic Sea area and the Arctic region (the Svalbard Archipelago). Long-time studies revealed no significant temporal trends in PCDD/F and dl-PCB concentrations in fish from the Baltic Sea. Trace amounts of PCDD/F were detected in the Arctic fish as an evidence of their anthropogenic sources from the temperate zone, however congener profile in the cod was entirely different than in the Baltic fish. On the contrary, both concentrations and profiles of dl-PCB were comparable in cod from the Baltic Sea and from the polar region. PCDD/F`s congener profile in African penguin`s tissues breed in captivity and fed only by herring exhibited a clear resemblance to the profiles measured in herring. This indicates a relevant impact of diet (fish) on PCDD/F`s level in seabirds. Diet impact on the further transfer of these xenobiotics in the trophic chain, evidenced in the presented study, appears to be of the particular relevance due to the human health.

“…The trend of a declining cod population (G. morhua callarias) in the Baltic Sea over the last several decades has coincided with its increased contamination and leads us to assume that the cod population may be suffering from AhR-related effects. The assumption can be justified by the extremely high concentrations of PCDD/Fs and DL-PCBs that have been observed in the liver of this species (25,30). These can also be indicative of a contaminant burden in the gonads as maternal transfer of contaminants to gonads has been documented (5).…”

“…Most organohalogen contaminants released over the years are still present in the aqueous environment and thus are accessible to marine organisms. Elevated concentrations of PCDDs, PCDFs, and dl-PCBs in some Baltic fish species (salmon, herring, and sprat) have been shown in several surveys in European member states (18,25,30). Recently the contamination profiles of PBDDs and PBDFs were described in the tissue of Baltic wild salmon and compared with chlorinated dioxins, dibenzofurans, and PCBs.…”

This article reviews the present state of the science concerning the polybrominated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PBDDs) and dibenzofurans (PBDFs). Everywhere in the world people are exposed to anthropogenic origin chemicals. Some of them are longlived organic compounds, which persist over the years in the environment. Persistent organic pollutants, such as organohalogen compounds, accumulate in environmental and biological compartments and have adverse effects on the health of humans and animals. Little is known about the brominated and mixed chloro/bromo dioxin and furans. Existing literature suggests that brominated dioxins and furans have similar toxicity profiles to their chlorinated analogues. The exposure data are extremely limited, showing a major data gap in estimating the potential environmental and health risk of these chemicals. The rapid increase in the use of brominated flame retardants (the main source of these pollutants) has raised the level of concern over environmental and health damage from brominated dioxins and furans. It is likely that human as well as wildlife exposure to these contaminants will increase with their greater use. The findings reported here present strong evidence of the PBDDs and PBDFs as an emerging new class of contaminants.

The concentrations of dioxins [polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs)], and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (DL-PCBs) in Atlantic herring depend on the fishing area. These substances originate from various anthropogenic sources and accumulate in the environment and in food. The influence of country-specific contaminant concentrations on human dietary exposure was studied exemplary for herring to show the influence of fish origin. PCDD/F and DL-PCB concentrations in herring from the Norwegian Sea and the Baltic Sea were combined with country-specific herring consumption. Herring concentrations showed geographical variation. For herring consumers, the 50th percentile dietary exposure to the total sum of PCDD/Fs and DL-PCBs amounted to 1.2 and 8.9 pg WHO-2005-TEQ/kg BW/week for Norway and Germany, respectively. The different exposure was mainly related to higher concentrations in herring from the Baltic Sea, rather than in herring from the Norwegian Sea. If contaminant concentrations are influenced by geographical origin, this should be integrated into the dietary exposure assessments. For herring, relevant fishing areas should be integrated into the sampling strategy to generate concentration data. The usage of country-specific data could refine exposure assessments.
