摘要
Results of mercury and organochlorine analyses in pooled muscle and blubber samples representing in all 417 long-finned pilot whales (Globicephala melas) sampled in 1997 in the Faroe Islands are presented. The 28 pooled muscle samples from tin all) 9 pods were analysed for total mercury and the same number of pooled blubber samples were analysed for PCB (IUPAC CBs no. 28, 52, 99, 101, 105, 118, 128, 138, 153, 170, 180, 183 and 187), p,p'-DDT and metabolites and o,p'-DDT and metabolites, cis (alpha) and trans (gamma)-chlordane, cis- and trans-nonachlor, oxychlordane, mirex, hexachlorobenzene, beta -HCH and toxaphene (Parlars no. 26 (T2), 32, 50 (T12), 62 (T20) and 69, (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
