Chlorinated hydrocarbon (HCB, DDTs and PCBs) levels in cetaceans stranded along the Italian coasts: An overview
Concentrations of HCB, DDTs and PCBs in the tissues and organs of cetaceans (Stenella coeruleoalba, Tursiops truncatus, Balaenoptera physalus, Steno bredanensis, Grampus griseus and Globicephala melaena) stranded along the Italian coasts in the period 1987-1993 are reported. The values are compared...
