Baseline survey of concentrations of toxaphene congeners in fish from European waters
The European Union project "Investigation into the monitoring, analysis and toxicity of toxaphene'' ( MATT) began in 1997 involving participants from the Netherlands, Ireland, Norway and Germany. Concentration information, analytical methodology and statistical interpretation of 207 s...
