AB  - BACKGROUND: The aim of this project was to study 14 polychlorinated biphenyls 
      (PCBs), 5 dichlorodiphenyl trichloroethans (DDTs), 12 organochlorine pesticides 
      (OCPs) and 6 polybrominated diphenylethers (PBDEs) in meat, liver, tallow and 
      bone marrow from semi-domesticated reindeer. METHODS: Meat, liver, tallow, and 
      bone marrow samples (n= 30) were collected from semi-domesticated reindeer in 
      Northern Norway. Determination of the persistent organic pollutants (POPs) 
      concentrations was done by using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). 
      Dependent sample t-test and Pearson's correlation test were used in statistical 
      analysis. RESULTS: Concentrations of the persistent organic pollutants in the 
      samples from semi-domesticated reindeer were generally low and slightly above the 
      limit of detection (LOD). For PCBs and OCPs, >/= 50% of the samples had 
      concentrations above LOD. For the DDTs and PBDEs, the proportion of samples with 
      concentrations above LOD varied between 3.7 and 45.5% depending on the sample 
      type. Concentrations of PCB 99, 105, 138/163, 153 and 187 differed significantly 
      between meat and liver, whereas concentrations of PCB 183 were significantly 
      different between tallow and bone marrow. Furthermore, concentrations of 
      hexachlorobenzene (HCB) were significantly different between meat and liver. 
      Significant correlations were revealed in concentrations of 5 PCB congeners 
      between the studied tissue types. CONCLUSION: Concentrations of the POPs revealed 
      in this study were generally low.
