AB  - In the present study, persistent organic pollutants (POPs) were determined in 25 
      livers from Magellanic penguins, Spheniscus magellanicus, found on the state of 
      Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro (Brazil). The following concentrations of POPs (wet 
      weight) were found:  summation operator PCBs: 18.9-775.8 ng g(-1);  summation operator DDTs: 2.3-275 ng g(-1); and  summation operator 
      HCHs: 1.0-11.8 ng g(-1). Among the PCBs, there was a predominance of 
      hexachlorobiphenyls (138 and 153) and heptachlorobiphenyls (180 and 187). Among 
      the organochlorines, DDT predominated. Through histopathologic exams a positive 
      correlation was found between HCB and cardiovascular failure (p=0.012), as HCB 
      values (wet weight) were 6.33-96.49 ng g(-1) for positive animals and 2.45-19.63 
      ng g(-1) for negative animals. Studies on POPs in Magellan penguins contribute to 
      a better understanding of the distribution and trends of these pollutants in the 
      western South Atlantic Ocean.
