Quality of cultured eels as affected by pollution sources and risk assessment of dioxins and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls
Abstract The aim of this research was to determine the residues of dioxins and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls in cultured eel and find out the source of pollution and the distribution pattern of eels. One hundred samples of eel, 4 fodder samples, and 12 environmental samples (water, plants, a...

| description | Abstract The aim of this research was to determine the residues of dioxins and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls in cultured eel and find out the source of pollution and the distribution pattern of eels. One hundred samples of eel, 4 fodder samples, and 12 environmental samples (water, plants, and soil) were collected from 4 cities and counties in Jiangxi Province, China. The contents of 17 kinds of dioxins (PCDD/Fs) and 12 kinds of dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (dl-PCBs) were determined by high-resolution gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, and the exposure risk was evaluated by using risk index. The total toxicity equivalence quantity (TEQ) of dioxin and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls in eel and fodder samples collected in the study area were 0.65 ± 0.31 pg/g and 0.10 ± 0.02 pg/g, respectively. Dl-PCBs were the main dioxin pollution in eel and fodder samples. 2,3',4,4',5-pentachlorodiphenyl and 2,3,3',4,4'-pentachlorobiphenyl were the main contributing monomers. The environmental samples were mainly polluted by polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), with the main contributing monomer being Octachlorodibenzodioxins (OCDD), while 3,3',4,4',5-pentachlorobiphenyl and 2,3,4,7,8-pentachlorodibenzofuran were the main toxic compounds in eel and fodder. The dioxin pollution of eels cultured in Jiangxi Province was mainly from fodder polluted via dl-PCBs. The meat segment VI (tail) exhibited a strong enrichment effect of polychlorinated benzofurans (PCDFs). It should be the key part for dioxins and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls assessment. Further, the results were helpful to improve the edible safety of eel products and the efficiency of the risk assessment of dioxins and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls in fish.
