We examined the influence of widely varied consumption of fatty fish from the Baltic Sea and of age on plasma concentrations of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polychlorobiphenylols (OHPCBs), 2,2-bis(4-chlorophenyl)-1,1,1,-trichloroethane (4,4'-DDT), 2,2-bis(4-chlorophenyl)-1,1-dichloroethane (4,4'-DDE), 2,2',4,4'-tetrabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-47), hexachlorobenzene (HCB), and pentachlorophenol (PCP) in Latvian and Swedish men. Both age and fish consumption were significantly correlated with the concentrations of [Sigma]PCB, [Sigma]OH-PCB, 4,4'-DDE, 4,4'-DDT, and HCB. In the case of BDE-47, no significant relationship with age was observed, and fish consumption had the ...
