Gehalte an organischen Umweltkontaminanten in Suesswasserfischen aus den neuen Bundeslaendern

The level of organochlorine environmental contaminants in farmed fish from the new states of Germany and in eel from the Baltic Sea had been investigated. The content of 13 pesticides or their degradation products and of 15 congeners of polychlorinated biphenyls was determined by capillary gaschromatography in the consumbale part, i.e. the skinned fillet. The content of these compounds in the analysed fillets was rather low: Mostly only around 1% of the maximal limit has been reached, in rare cases higher values have been observed, which however never exceeded more than 5% of the limit.
