E. (2012). Dieldrin in cod liver from the North Sea - Time trend from1998. Poster session presented at 9th European Pesticide Residue Workshop , Vienna, Austria.Dieldrin in cod liver from the North Sea - Time trend from 1988 Background for the monitoring programme Monitoring programs for pesticides in food often include investigations of persistent organochlorine contaminants and metabolites and are carried out because of their potentially hazardous health effects on humans. Due to the organochlorine pesticides stability and tendency to accumulate in fatty tissues they can enter the food chain and therefore be found in marine species. Relatively high levels occur in cod liver, which has high lipid content and for that reason is suitable for monitoring purposes. Results for dieldrin in cod caught in the North Sea and Skagerrak from 1988 to 2010 are presented looking at the time trend and decline in the levels during the period including 116 samples.

Statistical analyses of data from cod liver showed that the distribution of concentrations is best described by a logarithmic normal distribution, and that the development over time can be described by a linear regression based on logarithmized data.  Indsæt billede The location of the North Sea Levels of dieldrin in cod liver has decreased during the last decades from 1988, however is this still the case for the North Sea and Skagerrak?
