THE CONTENT OF POLYCHLORINATED HYDROCARBONS IN ARCTIC ECOSYSTEMS
The content of polychiorinated hydrocarbons (PCHC) (mainly pesticides and their metabolites) and polychiorinated biphenyls (PCB) were assayed in fat tissue specimens of hunting animals, shot on the southwest coast of Greenland, and in Eskimoes of the same area. Among the birds highest amounts of pp&...
