AI Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the presence of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in commonly eaten fish species in Italy, particularly European seabass and gilthead seabream, as well as local lake fish like agone.
- Using GC-MS/MS analysis, the research found that none of the POP concentrations in these fish exceeded established maximum limits.
- Additionally, none of the substances without maximum limits surpassed the provisional tolerable daily intake, indicating that the fish are safe for even the highest consumers.
Article Abstract
The primary source of persistent organic pollutant (POP) exposure is food, especially fish. European seabass () and gilthead seabream () are among the most eaten sea fish in Italy. Fish from lakes in Northern Italy, such as agone (Alosa agone), represent niche consumption for most people, but possibly constitute a much larger percentage of overall consumption volume for local residents. This study dealt with the presence of POPs in the above-mentioned fish species via GC-MS/MS analysis. None of the analytes for which maximum limits are in place showed concentrations above those limits. Moreover, none of the substances without maximum limits exceeded the provisional tolerable daily intake (PTDI) when given, nor did they exceed the more general values considered safe, even for 99th percentile consumers.
