New chemicals are often not recognized in analyses of fish in the Baltic Sea, shows a study from the Department of Environmental Science and Analytical Chemistry at Stockholm University. The reason is that one chooses to search for chemicals that are already known, and much of those who are already regulated by law. Many toxic chemicals that are not yet regulated are often overlooked in the environmental monitoring.
