Organochlorine Compounds in the Plasma of Peregrine Falcons and Gyrfalcons Nesting in Greenland
(Falco peregrinus) were determined from samples collected from southern Greenland in 1985 and western Greenland from 1983 to 1989, and from adult and nestling gyrfalcons (Falco rusticolus) from western Greenland in 1989 and 1990. Samples were taken during nesting. Levels of p,p'-DDE (DDE) in pe...
