Abstract
A national survey was carried out in order to assess the concentrations of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) in long-life half-skimmed drinking milk produced and consumed in France. 151 Samples were collected from 33 dairy establishments selected for their production amounts following a random sampling scheme. 148 of the 151 results were finally used for statistical assessment. The mean concentration of 2,3,7,8-TCDD toxicity equivalent found is 0.65 pg/g of milk fat. This result is far below the threshold recommended by the European Union.
