Abstract

The organochlorine compounds p,p'-DDT /1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-di(4-chlorophenyl)ethane,', p,p'-DDD /l,l-dichloro-2,2-di-(4-chlorophenyl)ethane/, p,p'-DDE /1, 1-dichloro-2-2-di-(4-chlorophenyl)ethylene/, alpha-HCH (alpha-hexachlorocyclohexane), beta-HCH (beta-hexachlorocyclohexane), gamma-HCH (lindane) (gamma-hexachlorocyclohexane) and HCB (hexacblorobenzene) were measured in cow's milk and butter, in pig's fat and fat tissue, and in hen's fat tissue. Samples of foodstuffs (10 from each) were collected during 1985/6 in a continental town of Croatia, Yugoslavia either at the market or from individual farmers. p,p'-DDE was present in all the 50 samples (cone. range 1.6-330 µg/kg fat). The frequencies of gamma-HCH, HCB, alpha-HCH and p,p'-DDT were between 92 and 52 % (cone. range 1.0-200 µg/kg fat). p,p'-DDD was present only in five samples and beta-HCH only m six (cone. range 2.2-130 µg/kg fat). The highest median concentrations of HCB, gamma-HCH and alpha-HCH (63, 38 and 25 µg/kg fat resp.) were.
