PG - 352-360 LID - S0048-9697(16)31629-1 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2016.07.176 [doi] AB - Organic compounds, in particular organochlorines, are highly persistent compounds which accumulate in biotic and abiotic substrates. Marine mammals bioaccumulate and biomagnify persistent organic pollutants (POPs) through diet. summation operatorPCB (26 PCB congeners), summation operatorDDT (pp-DDT, pp-DDD, pp-DDE), summation operatorHCH (alpha-HCH, beta-HCH, gamma-HCH, delta-HCH), HCB and mirex were analyzed from samples of subcutaneous adipose tissue of common dolphins, Delphinus delphis, and Fraser's dolphins, Lagenodelphis hosei, obtained in 1999 and 2012. The aim of this study was to determine the concentrations of POPs to get baseline information on the current state of pollution by these compounds in these two species in South Atlantic. At the same time, to assess concentrations of POPs in relation to age, the total length and sexual maturity in common dolphins. Organochlorine pesticides dominated Fraser's dolphins, DDT being the most abundant, while PCBs were mostly present in common dolphins. In both species, the distributions of isomers or metabolites followed the order: beta-HCH>delta-HCH>gamma-HCH>alpha-HCH and pp-DDE>pp-DDD>pp-DDT. As for summation operatorPCB, the largest contribution was given by congeners of high molecular weight, particularly by hexa and hepta - CBs. Common dolphins did not show effects on sexual maturity, age and standard length in the concentration of organochlorines. The mean concentrations found in this study are lower compared to those reported in other studies performed in dolphins elsewhere. This study provides new information regarding levels of organochlorines in common dolphins for the Southwestern Atlantic. CI - Copyright (c) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
