title: [Perfluorinated chemicals in the environment, food and human body].
abstract: Some data on production, toxicity, properties, uses, analytics as well as an environmental occurrence of PFCs in Poland are reviewed. In total 16 fluorochemicals were detected in surface water (Radunia River and Gulf of Gdańsk), beaver's liver (Warmia and Mazury region), cod and eider duck blood (Gulf of Gdańsk), young cattle blood (County of Stezyca) and human blood (Gdańsk Coast; donors which declared elevated Baltic fish intake) in Poland. In blood of the Gdańsk Coast inhabitants PFHxS, PFOS, PFOSA, PFHxA, PFHpA, PFOA, PFNA, PFDA, PFUnDA and PFDo-DA were found. In surface water for the first time were found fluorochemicals such as PFBuS, PFOcDA, PFBA and PFPeA, while in beavers' liver also PFTeA and N-Ethyl FOSA.
