摘要：

Green mussels (Perna viridis) collected from nine locations along the South Indian coast were used as bioindicator to assess the organochlorine contamination (HCHs, DDTs, and PCBs) in the coastal environment of South India. Concentrations of SIGMA-HCH and SIGMA-DDT were found to be similar, ranging from 3 to 39 ng g-1 on wet wt basis. On the other hand, PCB levels were apparently lower, varying from < 1.0 to 7.1 ng g-1 wet wt. The residue pattern of organochlorines in mussels are principally similar to those in Indian human samples, reported earlier. The coastal marine pollution by HCH in India ranks among the highly contaminated areas in the world.
