TI  - Accumulation profiles of persistent organochlorines in waterbirds from an estuary 
      in Korea.
PG  - 353-63
AB  - Persistent organochlorine pollutants (POPs), such as polychlorinated 
      dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs), polychlorinated 
      biphenyls (PCBs), and organochlorine (OC) pesticides such as DDTs 
      (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane), HCHs (hexachlorocyclohexane isomers), CHLs 
      (chlordane compounds) and HCB (hexachlorobenzene), were measured in subcutaneous 
      fat of resident and migratory birds collected from the Nakdong River estuary 
      (NRE) in Korea. Black-tailed gull, a resident bird from the NRE, contained 
      greater concentrations of PCDD/Fs and PCBs than the migratory birds collected in 
      the estuary. For example, mean concentrations of PCDD/Fs in black-tailed gull 
      (395.5 pg/g fat weight) were higher than those in migratory birds, such as 
      greenshank (198.3 pg/g fat weight), common gull (90.9 pg/g fat weight) 
      black-headed gull (84.2 pg/g fat weight), and common tern (47.1 pg/g fat weight). 
      However, concentrations of DDTs and/or HCHs were great in some migratory species, 
      such as little tern (mean DDT 6,200 ng/g fat weight) and black-necked grebe (HCHs 
      475 ng/g fat weight). This suggested that contamination of PCDD/Fs and PCBs in 
      resident gulls are due to intake of locally contaminated fish near the NRE. 
      Elevated OC pesticide levels in migratory birds indicated that these birds have 
      been exposed to DDTs and HCHs during their migration in Southeast Asian countries 
      where chlorinated pesticides are still used. 2,3,7,8-Tetrachloro dibenzo-p-dioxin 
      equivalents (TEQs) were calculated using the toxic equivalency factors (TEFs) 
      reported by World Health Organization in 1998. Four of the 2,3,7,8-substituted 
      congeners of PCDD/Fs contributed over 90% of the TEQs.
