The levels of BHC, .SIGMA.DDT and PCB in fish meal, meat and bone meal, feeds and chicken meat produced or available on the Polish market in 1975-1977 were studied. Levels in fish meals of marine production averaged 0.005-0.015, 0.22-0.44 and 0.043-0.25 ppm, respectively, for BHC, .SIGMA.DDT and PCB. For fish meals of Polish production values were: 0.009-0.012, 0.21-0.35 and 0.13-0.22 ppm and imported meal values were 0.004, 0.049-0.052 and 0.051-0.17 ppm, respectively. The average amounts of .SIGMA.DDT and PCB in meat and bone meals were 0.074 and trace amounts, and in feeds averaged 0.025-0.17 .SIGMA.DDT and 0.001-0.009 ppm PCB. Only trace amounts of PCB and 0.009 ppm .SIGMA.DDT were found in chicken meat.
