    • Abstract:
      Although DDT, γ-HCH and PCBs have been almost completely withdrawn from world production and use, they are still present in the environment. Mushrooms are eagerly collected and consumed local raw material in north-eastern part of Poland. The aim of the study was to determine the content of DDT, γ-HCH and PCB residues in popular species (Boletus badius, Boletus edulis, Cantharellus cibarius) and to estimate the human exposure of uptaking of these compounds with mushrooms. The content of γ-HCH, DDT and PCB was determined using gas chromatography. The presence of analyzed compounds was observed in all the species under study. The highest content of γ-HCH and ΣDDT was determined in C. cibarius - 7.19 and 180.37 µg/kg of lipids, respectively, whereas the highest amount of ΣPCB was observed in B. edulis - 20.89 µg/kg of lipids. The contents were low and did not pose a threat to human health.
