Question

What are the concentrations of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in Baltic herring.

Answer

Answer is under work.

POP concentrations in Baltic sea fish have been measured from samples collected in EU-kalat project. The original data of individual fish samples si accessible through Opasnet base. This data is used here for a Bayesian model to calculate posterior distributions (mean and SD) for each congener. This data is then translated into TEQ to be used for health impact assessment of Baltic herring.

Posterior congener mean concentrations are presented below for each compound group (PCDD/F, PCB, BDE) taken under analysis in EU-kalat not shown yet).

Based on the mean concentrations of individual congeners, TEQs are calculated for each congener and plotted below.
