“…These differences may have been species or variety dependent. [25] Bobovnikova et al, [26] reported higher concentrations of organochlorine compounds such as PCBs and DDT in carrot roots as compared to other analyzed vegetables (potatoes, turnips, dill, and parsley leaves). This was explained by the presence of carotene in carrots, which is characterized by a high accumulation factor and high affinity for fat.…”

Organic and conventional crops were studied by identifying the relationship between persistent organic pollutants in cereals, vegetables and soil. The residues of organochlorine pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were determined in grains (rye and wheat), vegetables (carrots and beets) and soil collected from the fields. PCB residues recorded in the beets from organic farming were as high as 3.71 ppb dry weight (dry wt.), while in the soil from conventional farming of beets 0.53 ppb dry wt. Among vegetables, higher concentrations of pesticides were detected in organically grown beets (190.63 ppb dry wt.). Soil samples from the organic farming contained lower levels of organochlorine pesticide residues compared to the conventional farming. Taking into account toxicity equivalent (TEQ), the conventionally grown carrots accumulated the most toxic PCBs. Non-ortho and mono-ortho PCBs were also noted in the grain of conventionally grown rye and amounted to 3.05 pg-TEQ/g wet wt.

“…The soil samples contaminated with PCB were analyzed by the method officially accepted in Russia and described in Bobovnikova et al (2000). This fraction was considered as extractable PCB, which contains the first two fractions (RA and PA).…”

“…PCDD/PCDF were analyzed only in one joint sample (6.05 pg WHO-TEQ/g lipid), while concentration of non-ortho-PCB was 53.8 pg WHO-TEQ/g lipid. In Serpukhov, PCBs concentration in soil near the plant where PCBcontaining electric equipment had been produced varied from 13.6 to 172 mkg/g (Bobovnikova et al, 2000a). Women, who worked at the plant or lived near it, had high concentrations of PCB in breast milk (Bobovnikova PCB levels in blood of 15 workers of Serpukhov capacitor plant were measured in 1988, when PCB use was terminated.…”

This Series presents the results of scientific meetings supported under the NATO Advanced Research Workshops (ARW) are expert meetings where an intense but informal exchange of views at the frontiers of a subject aims at identifying directions for future action re-organised. Recent volumes on topics not related to security, which result from meetings supported under the programme earlier, may be found in the NATO Science Series.
