“…A comparison of the dietary intakes of DDTs compounds from fish in Bulgaria with published data shows that the dietary intakes of DDTs in Sweden -256 ng/ day (22), in Italy 197 ng/ person day (14) and in South Korea -270 ng/day (11) were higher than those in the present study.…”

“…Dietary intake is an important route of human exposure to organochlorine compounds (11,12). Several studies have investigated the dietary exposure and assessed the risk of POPs for the general population through the consumption of food in various countries (11,13,14,15). Therefore, risk assessment of the POPs in seafood is important and necessary to manage risks from seafood intake (16,17).…”

PURPOSE: The objective of this study was to estimate the dietary intake (EDI) of organochlorine pesticides (DDT and its metabolite) through consumption of fish in Bulgaria. The potential health risk was assessed based on the dietary intake of DDTs through fish consumption. METHODS: DDT and its two main metabolites DDE and DDD were determined in muscle tissue of six fish species widely consumed by the population of Bulgaria: goby (Neogobius melanostomus), sprat (Sprattus sprattus), grey mullet (Mugil cephalus), horse mackerel (Trachurus Mediterraneus ponticus), shad (Alosa pontica pontica) and bluefish (Pomatomus saltatrix). Samples were collected from Black Sea coast of Bulgaria during 2007 -2011. The DDT and its metabolites were determined by capillary gas chromatography system with mass spectrometry detection. RESULTS: The levels of the Total DDTs (sum of DDT, DDE and DDD) ranged from 18.5±8.3 to 200.2±41.9 ng/g wet weight (in goby and shad, respectively). The mean EDI of DDTs in fish from Black Sea was calculated between 3.5±1.6 and 37.8±7.9 ng/kg body weight/ day through consumption of goby and shad, respectively. The health risk was assessed using a risk quotient (RQ) of the fish consumption as the ratio of daily fish exposure level (EDI) in relation to oral reference dose. CONCLUSIONS: The estimated dietary intake of DDTs through marine fish for the Bulgarian consumer does not pose a health risk.

“…ng/g ww from Black Sea, Bulgaria (65.7 ng/g lipid weight) were lower than levels observed by Stefanelli et al [13] and Perugini et al [23] in mussels from the Italian Adriatic Sea and central Adriatic Sea, respectively ( Table 2). Concentrations of total DDTs measured in the present study were much lower than those reported in mussels from seven mariculture zones in Hong Kong, China -11 -1400 ng/g lw [24].…”

“…It is known that bivalve molluscs concentrate pollutants to levels above those present in marine water [9,13,14]. Advantages of using mussels to monitor organochlorine pollutants are their wide geographical distribution, sessile lifestyle, easy sampling, tolerance to a considerable range of salinity and rapid accumulation of toxic substances [7,15,16].…”

Abstract. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), organochlorine pesticides (HCB, DDT and its metabolites) and HCBD in mussels from Bulgarian Black Sea coast. Mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) are aquatic organisms which are immobile so that the concentration of pollutants should primarily be considered as an indication of local levels of organochlorine compounds. Samples were collected from three areas of Black Sea coast of Bulgaria in summer 2015.The fifteen congeners of PCBs, HCB, HCBD, DDT and its metabolites DDE and DDD were performed by gas chromatography system with mass spectrometry detection. The metabolites DDE and DDD were found in all analyzed mussel samples, but PCBs were not detected in any sample. DDE concentrations were found in mussels from 1.09 to 1.63 ng/g wet weight. In mussel total DDT concentrations (2.14 ng/g ww) were found comparable to those in mussels, sampled in 2013 and 2014 (1.87 ng/g ww).The levels of DDTs and polychlorinated biphenyls in mussels from the Black Sea were found comparable to levels measured in the same molluscs from neighbor seas -Mediterranean Sea and Adriatic Sea.

“…These include domestic waste, industrial discharge, inputs from agricultural area, chemical spill and atmospheric fallout (Vallack et al, 1998;Zhou et al, 2001). This type of pollution is especially observed in the Mediterranean Sea because of its limited exchange with the open ocean (Basturk et al, 1980;Fowler and Elder, 1980;Stefanelli et al, 2004).…”
