“…The greater availability of information on DRCs contamination of aquatic organisms in literature is explained by the fact that these data are often collected to monitor pollution levels in aquatic ecosystems. Therefore, the works collected include those carried out for environmental monitoring purposes [ 9 , 12 , 14 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 ] and those carried out on food products to estimate the dietary intake of DRCs [ 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 45 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 ].…”

“…In addition to Mirex, the DRCs most investigated are Dec-602, Dec-603, CP. Dec-601 was only investigated in three papers [ 20 , 49 , 51 ]. Dec-604 was mainly investigated in fish and seafood.…”

“…In milk and dairy products, the highest average concentrations have been measured in Korea (23.87 pg g −1 ww; 928.52 pg g −1 lw) [ 38 ] and in Latvia (16.41 pg g −1 ww) [ 40 ]. Lower values of ∑DP were found in Lebanon [ 49 ], in Belgium [ 39 , 50 ], in the sub-Saharan countries [ 51 ], while it was not quantified in Japan [ 37 ] and in one sample from Belgium [ 54 ].…”

“…In particular ∑DP was measured only in one out of the four analyzed samples (quail eggs 637 pg g −1 ww) [ 50 ]. Lower values (with a range from 1.27 to 30.33 pg g −1 ww) were measured in samples from Lebanon [ 49 ], Japan [ 37 ], Korea [ 38 ], Belgium [ 39 ], sub-Saharan countries [ 51 ] and Latvia [ 40 ]. It is well known that eggs can be a good environmental indicator of persistent organic contamination [ 38 ].…”

“…Again, excluding data obtained in electronic waste treatment areas in Vietnam and China [ 48 , 49 ], the highest mean concentrations of ∑DP were measured in Korea (51.86 pg g −1 ww; 959.36 pg g −1 lw) [ 38 ], considering that this result is reported according to an LB scenario. Lower values (with a range from 1.5 to 20.13 pg g −1 ww) were measured in samples collected in Lebanon [ 49 ], Japan [ 37 ], Belgium [ 50 ], sub-Saharan countries [ 51 ] and Latvia [ 40 ]. Other studies, conducted on a small number of samples, gave negative results [ 52 , 54 ].…”

Dechlorane Plus is a polychlorinated compound which has exclusively anthropic origin. This compound has been manufactured for close to 60 years for various applications, but mainly as flame retardant. Dechlorane Plus and other Dechlorane-related compounds (DRCs) are currently marketed as a replacement for Dechlorane, also known as Mirex, banned in 1978. These compounds share comparable properties to persistent organic pollutants (POPs), such as persistence in the environment, high lipophilicity, bioaccumulation through the food web and adverse effects on the environment and human health. Despite their long production history, they have been only recently reported in various environmental compartments, such as air, soil, and foodstuff. The aim of this review is to provide a picture of the current state of knowledge on worldwide DRC levels in food, in order to highlight gaps and research needs. The review compares the data on DRC contamination available in literature, considering different food categories and sampling country. In addition, it is specified whether the data were obtained from studies on foodstuff to estimate dietary intake, to evaluate the contamination near the e-waste treatment area or for environmental monitoring purposes.

There are limited data on organic contaminants in marine biota from coastal Tanzania, especially on the occurrence of industrial‐use contaminants such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). The present study, performed in 2018–2019 in coastal Tanzania and Zanzibar Island, aimed at assessing spatial variation in the occurrence of PCBs; brominated flame retardants (BFRs), including PBDEs; and organochlorine pesticides, including dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), among three locations that differ in degree of anthropogenic activity. Analyzed samples included edible tissues of marine fishes and prawns representing different trophic levels and habitats. The results indicate a mainland–island difference, with fishes and prawns collected on Zanzibar having significantly lower PCB and DDT concentrations but higher concentrations of hexachlorobenzene compared to the two mainland locations. The highest contaminant concentrations were found in fishes and prawns collected around central Dar es Salaam harbor, with median ΣPCBs ranging from 22.3 to 577 ng/g lipid weight and ΣDDTs from 22.7 to 501 ng/g lipid weight, suggesting local sources. Concentrations of PBDEs were similar among locations, suggesting more diffuse sources. None of the “newer‐type” BFRs, including compounds introduced as replacements for PBDEs, were detected in the present study. Stable isotope values of carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) varied among locations, and the relationship between contaminants and δ15N varied among locations and habitat (pelagic/demersal). Concentrations measured in the present study are below European guidelines for human consumption of fishes and prawns. However, industrial‐use contaminants should be monitored in developing countries because they are contaminants of emerging concern as a result of increasing industrialization and global trade of used products and wastes.
