Biomagnification and fate of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in marine mammal food webs in the Northeastern Pacific Ocean
Elevated polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) concentrations have been detected in marine mammals inhabiting the Strait of Georgia, British Columbia (Canada) and Puget Sound, Washington State (USA). This raises concerns about adverse health effects and underscores the importance of documenting source, tr...
