Abstract: | Weddell seal samples taken from the Antarctic have been found to be contaminated with chlordane compounds. ΣChlordane () was present in blubber of seals at the range of 12 - 62 ng/g fresh weight. The order of chlordane compound concentrations was . Relative aboundance of -chlordane in Σchlordane is higher than that in humans. A probable explanation for their occurrence in the Antarctic is an airborne transport. |
