Three decades (1983-2010) of contaminant trends in East Greenland polar bears (Ursus maritimus). Part 1:Legacy organochlorine contaminants
Legacy organochlorine contaminants were determined in adipose tissues from 294 polar bears (Ursus maritimus) sampled in East Greenland in 23 of the 28years between 1983 and 2010. Of 19 major legacy contaminants and congeners (ΣPCB, 4 PCB congeners (CB153, 180, 170/190), ΣDDT, p,p'-DDE, p,p'...
