ABSTRACT
Hexachlorobenzene exposure from food in Poland in 1970-1996 was calculated by multiplying its annualized mean consumption rates by residue concentrations quantified in food. Estimated daily dietary intakes of hexachlorobenzene were 1.3 to 1.5 mug per capita in 1970-1996, on average. Grains, potatoes, vegetables and fruits, meat, fish and dairy products nearly equally contributed as a source of hexachlorobenzene exposure in total diet in Poland.
