Bioaccumulation and toxic potential of extremely hydrophobic polychlorinated biphenyl congeners in biota collected at a superfund site contaminated with Aroclor 1268

Article Abstract:

Bioaccumulation properties, congener distribution and toxic potential of superhydrophobic PCBs were studied in blue crab, fish, terrapin and birds collected at a chlor-alkali facility in coastal southeastern Georgia. The facility uses Aroclor 1268, a highly chlorinated technical PCB mixture made basically of hexa-through decachlorobiphenyls, to lubricate high voltage process equipment. The study showed that lipid-normalized mean concentrations of total PCBs in blue crab, striped mullet, yellow tail, sea trout, diamondback terrapin, red-winged blackbird, boat-tailed grackle, mottled duck and clapper rail were 197, 283, 203, 56, 14, 385, 76, 135 and 10 ug/g respectively.
