Abstract
The influence of the agricultural use of sewage sludge on the concentrations of PCBs and PCDD/Fs in soil, feed and milk was investigated on four dairy farms. Evidence of contaminant accumulation in the soil was found on both farms that fertilized with sewage sludge. The concentrations in feed and milk from one of these farms were similar to the concentrations in the matched control, while the concentrations in the samples from the second sludge user were elevated. The study demonstrates that the agricultural use of sewage sludge does under some conditions lead to higher levels of PCBs and PCDD/Fs in food products.Entities:
