Abstract

An assessment of the risks associated with residues of selected industrial chemicals in foods of animal origin was undertaken. The assessment is organized so as to combine information on chemical hazards with data on exposure to arrive at recommendations for risk management and avoidance. The assessment focuses on pentachlorophenol (PCP), polychlorinated dibenzodioxins (PCDD) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDF), hexachlorobenzene (HCB), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) and polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), several essential minerals, and metallic compounds, particularly mercury, cadmium and lead.
