Heavy metals, organochlorines and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in sperm whales stranded in the southern North Sea during the 1994/1995 winter
Seven male sperm whales stranded on the southern North Sea coast during the 1994/95 winter were analysed for stable pollutant concentrations in muscle, liver, kidney and blubber: heavy metals (total and organic Hg, Se, Zn, Pb, Ni, Cd, Fe, Cr, Cu and Ti), organochlorines (PCBs and pesticides) and pol...
