Resumo

PERSISTENT TOXIC SUBSTANCES (PTS) IN BRAZIL.The present article presents an assessment of PTS in Brazil including polychlorinated biphenyls, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, benzene hexachloride, aldrin, dieldrin, endrin, p,p , -DDT, p,p , DDE, p,p , -DDD, hexachlorocyclohexanes (α-HCH, β-HCH, γ-HCH and δ-HCH), endossulfan, heptachlor and pentachlorophenol.The data presented here are related to a survey of PTS levels in different environmental matrixes (soil, sediment, water, air, biota) and human tissues (milk, blood, human hair), according to the scope of the UNEP-GEF Regionally Based Assessment of PTSs.Potential sources were evaluated considering national products and imports, since most of the literature does not allow source identification.Finally, Brazilian legislation was updated.
