The ecotoxicological risk in sub-Antarctic regions : PCBs and organochlorine pesticides contamination of trout from Kerguelen Islands (48° 35'S-49° 54'S and 68° 43'E-70° 35'E)
International audience The polar and subpolar ecosystems receive persistent organic pollutants (POP) by atmospheric transfer. PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) and other ubiquitous organochlorines were detected from the late sixties. In subpolar areas, the snow acts as a dynamic reservoir. A multidis...

International audience The polar and subpolar ecosystems receive persistent organic pollutants (POP) by atmospheric transfer. PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) and other ubiquitous organochlorines were detected from the late sixties. In subpolar areas, the snow acts as a dynamic reservoir. A multidisciplinary study funded by the French National Research Agency (ANR Risker program) in collaboration with the French Polar Institute (Immunotoxker program 409) began in 2009 to participate in the assessment of the global contamination, among others. In this objective, the Kerguelen Islands constitute a model of area not directly exposed to industrial, agricultural or urban pollution.
