Risk evaluation for human health was carried out using PCB and PAH concentrations measured in seven fish species from Lake Iseo (Italy) and comparing the experimental data with legal levels and the two new approaches proposed by the US FDA and the US EPA to protect local populations with different food habits. We verified that none of the persistent organic compounds analyzed exceeded the legal limits set by the US FDA, since no specific limit has yet been proposed by the European Union. The two other approaches have pointed out that the acute and chronic effects do not represent any risk for human health, while a possible carcinogenic risk for the local population can arise when 4 and 8 monthly meals are consumed, based on PCB and PAH content in the edible part of fish, respectively.
利用在意大利伊塞奥湖的7种鱼类中测得的多氯联苯和多环芳烃浓度，对人类健康进行了风险评估，并将实验数据与法定水平以及美国食品药品监督管理局和美国环境保护局提出的两种新方法进行了比较，以保护具有不同饮食习惯的当地居民。我们证实，所分析的持久性有机化合物均未超过美国食品药品监督管理局设定的法定限值，因为欧盟尚未提出具体限值。另外两种方法指出，急性和慢性影响对人类健康不构成任何风险，而根据鱼类可食用部分中的多氯联苯和多环芳烃含量，分别每月食用4餐和8餐时，当地居民可能会面临致癌风险。
