Toxaphene and other organochlorines in Arctic Ocean fauna: evidence for atmospheric delivery. Arctic

ABSTRACT. Residues of the insecticide toxaphene (polychlorinated camphenes, PCCs) and other organochlorines ( 0 0) were determined in air, snow, seawater, zooplankton, and benthic amphipods collected from an ice island in the Canadian Arctic. The simultaneous determination of OCs in the atmospheric,...
