Description
10% of the Norwegian population have a higher intake of dioxin-like PCBs and dioxins than the tolerable weekly intake. Over 50% of the dietary warnings in Norwegian fjords are mainly issued because of high concentrations of PCBs in sediments and biota. These are some of the reasons for implementing the Norwegian management plan to reduce and avoid further PCB-contamination.
