3 times PCB detection of dioxins in seafood 1999.11.15

In FY 1998, the Ministry of Health and Welfare investigated dioxins in 36 different types of seafood, meat, vegetables, etc. It was found that the average concentration of copplaner PCBs contained in seafood is about three times higher than dioxins. It is seen that the PCB used in the country in the 1960s was swept into the sea and had been accumulated. In Japanese pampas grass, dioxins were detected at a concentration of 20 to 85 times more than other fish, and 90% of them were copplaner PCBs.
