AB  - Twelve persistent organic pollutants (POPs) were measured in 11 tissue samples 
      from a pregnant sperm whale stranded on the Huizhou coast of the South China Sea, 
      China, in March 2017. POPs were found to be more concentrated in the irrigated 
      tissues such as placenta, ovary, mammary gland, and liver than the less irrigated 
      tissues such as epidermis. High POP levels detected in the placenta might result 
      in abnormal hormone secretion in the placenta, which would affect the unborn 
      offspring. We hypothesized that ovary is potentially vulnerable to the exposure 
      of higher contaminant levels. The PAH concentrations were higher in the lung than 
      in other tissues, which suggest that PAH levels in the lung were breath-dependent 
      in the sperm whale. The concentrations of POPs except PAHs in the sperm whale 
      blubber were lower than those in the same species in the Northern Hemisphere and 
      were comparable to or lower than those in the same species in the Southern 
      Hemisphere.
