Dioxin Levels in the Irish Environment (January 2008)

The EPA has released the latest report on dioxin levels in the Irish environment (based on the levels in cows' milk in a 2006 survey). The report shows that all of the samples had levels well below the relevant EU limit. Other key findings were –

• All levels recorded compare favourably with those from similar studies in other EU countries and the US;
• Some results for the greater Dublin area were higher than elsewhere in Ireland - but, nonetheless, remained at less than half of the EU limit.

Commenting on the results, EPA Programme Manager Dr. Ciaran O'Donnell said - "While some dioxin compounds were found in all samples, as expected, the concentrations were low by international standards. The survey confirms the continuing low levels of dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs in the Irish environment."
