Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCBs) residues in the muscle tissue of Arnoglossus laterna and Lepidorhombus whiffiagonis have been determined in order to evaluate the risk for humans, resulting from the consumption of these marine species. PCBs concentrations were 281 μg/kg for A. laterna and 409 μg/kg for L. whiffiagonis. Isomer-specific analysis revealed a profile dominated by hexa- and pentachlorobiphenyls. PCB dietary intake was below to 8 pg TEQs/kg per weekly recently set by European Commission. The results obtained are not to underestimate, considering that the weekly intake do not consider other food which might pass these contaminants to man.
