A quantitative analysis of organochlorine pesticides in Svalbard reindeer (Rangifer tarandus platyrhynchus)
This study is a quantitative analysis targeting levels of selected organochlorine pesticides (OCP) located in muscle, liver, and fat of Svalbard reindeer (Rangifer tarandus platyrhynchus) in Svalbard (61 022 km2, 74-81°N, 15-35°E), Norway. A brief comparison to Svalbard rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta...
