Polychlorobiphenyls in North Atlantic Ocean Water

Concentrations of polychlorobiphenyls (PCB's) have been measured at the surface and at various depths in the water of the North Atlantic Ocean between 26°N and 63°N. The concentrations average about 20 parts per trillion and amount to an estimated 2 × 10 4 metric tons of PCB's in the upper...
