Article Synopsis
- The study examined polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs) in food items from France to evaluate their contribution to overall dioxin-like contaminants, alongside polychlorinated dibenzodioxins/furans (PCDD/Fs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).
- PCNs were found in various foodstuffs at levels comparable to other countries, especially high in fish from the North-East Atlantic Ocean, suggesting unintentional releases of these compounds.
- The dietary risk from PCN exposure was low, with dairy and meat products being the main contributors, yet PCNs accounted for a significant portion of the total contamination, indicating they are important components of the overall chemical mixture.
