TRENDS IN THE DIOXIN AND PCB CONTENT OF THE UK DIET

The monitoring of food for common contaminants and nutrients is increasingly being carried out by government organisations as well as food producers. These studies provide data on the constituents of the diet and allow assessment of the quality of food available to consumers. They also allow the estimation of exposure of different population groups to contaminants such as PCBs and dioxins that may be present in food.
