Tables II–IV. The levels of PBDEs in amur were bello tho
limits of detection, therefore they were left out in the table
summary. Fig. 1. shows representative chromatogram of carp
skin sample analysed in capillary column DB-17 MS with
50 % diphenyl- 50 % dimethylsiloxane stationary phase.
The most abundant congeners determined in skin of
investigated species were BDE 3, BDE 47, BDE 100 and
BDE 153. Greater mean levels were observed in skin then
muscle tissues.

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers are very resistant to
biodegradation and also show carcinogenic and mutagenic
effects. Due to unavoidable emissions into the environment
PBDEs have been found throughout the world both in abiotic
(air, water, soil, sediment) and biotic (fish tissue, bird eggs,
marine mammals) compartments. Into the future, will be very
important and necessary monitoring these compounds in the
environment and food chain especially.
Financial support from Ministry of Education, Youth
and Sports under MSM 6215712402 is greatly appreciated
