The PCB content of 469 milk and dairy product samples was determined. The fat was extracted and cleaned up through aluminium oxide. The organochlorine pesticides and the PCBs were separated by chromatography through a silica gel column. The PCBs in the purified extracts were perchlorinated to decachlorobiphenyl and determined by gas chromatography. The mean PCB content of the samples investigated was 0.18 mg per kg fat. The results are comparable with those obtained in neighbouring countries and significantly lower than the interim FDA tolerance of 1.5 mg per kg fat.
