A method for the determination of toxaphene residues in fish and fish-based baby foods has been developed. The cleanup of the fatty matrices was performed using an acid treatment on an Extrelut-NT3 and ENVI-Florisil SPE cartridges system, using light petroleum as eluent. Instrumental analysis was carried out by gaschromatography with mass spectrometry detector (GC/MS) in SIM mode. Recoveries from spiked samples were tested at 0.005 and 0.01 mg/kg per single congener and were in the range 82-104% while relative standard deviations (RSDs) were in the range 3.7-10.9%. Nineteen samples of both frozen fish food and fish-based baby foods representative of the Italian market were collected from local dealers and analysed.

The safety of farmed rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is correlated with the quality of the production process. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), dioxins (polychlorinated dibenzodioxins and furans - PCDD/Fs), and heavy metals such as lead and cadmium were investigated because they can represent a risk for the consumer. The levels of these compounds in water, feed and specimens of trout farmed with two different feeds (A and B) were assessed. Their accumulation in muscle of A and B trout was evaluated and their dependence on the levels of feed contamination was considered. The results showed a widespread contamination in feed and in the examined trout, although lower than the European Union limits. For all compounds, concentrations in the farming waters were always < LOQs. Mean concentrations of NDL-PCBs in the A feed were significantly higher than in the B feed, except for PCBs 52 and 28. DL-PCB and PCDD/F concentrations were significantly higher in A feed. Lead and cadmium mean concentrations in A feed were 0.26 ± 0.01 and 0.1013 ± 0.0009 µg g(-1), respectively; and in B feed were 0.10 ± 0.01 and 0.0855 ± 0.0078 µg g(-1), respectively. The results showed that intakes for ∑DL-PCB + ∑PCDD/F ranged from 4.4% to 12% of the TDI, and for Pb and Cd from 1.9% to 2.7% and from 0.3% to 0.4% of the TDI, respectively.

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are chemicals of global concern due to their potential for long-range transport, persistence in environment, ability to biomagnify and bioaccumulate in ecosystems, as well as their significant negative effects on human health and the environment. In this study, seven targeted polychlorinated byphenils (PCBs, IUPAC Nos. 28, 52, 101, 118, 138, 153, and 180) and the organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) aldrin, dieldrin, endrin, cis-chlordane, transchlordane and oxy-chlordane were quantified in European date mussel (Lithophaga lithophaga L., 1758.) collected from the Sarajevo fish market (Bosnia and Herzegovina). This slow-growing species is widespread along the whole Mediterranean rocky coastline. In Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), this species has not been protected by law and the date mussel harvested in the area of the Neum bay (Adriatic sea) could be found in free sale on BiH market. Applied gas chromatography and tissue extraction methods were validated in the NIVA laboratory. Our samples (n=61) were 4.5-8.4 cm in length. Total OCPs in the analyzed samples were low (ranging from non-detectable to 0.419 μg kg-1 w.w.), while Σ7PCBs was ranging from 20.26 to 135.37 μg kg-1 w.w.. PCBs 101, 118, 138 and 153 were dominant congeners in all samples.
