Persistent organic pollutants in biota samples collected during the Ymer-80 expedition to the Arctic
During the expedition with the Swedish ice-breaker HMS Ymer to the Arctic in 1980 samples of a number of vertebrate species were collected for determination of persistent organic pollutants (POPs). Specimens of Arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus), glaucous gull (Larus hyperboreus), common eider (Somate...
