AB  - Barnacles are ubiquitous in coastal ecosystems of different geographical regions 
      worldwide. This is the first study attempting to assess the suitability of 
      barnacles as bioindicators of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in coastal 
      environments. Barnacles were collected from the coasts around Peninsular Malaysia 
      and analyzed for POPs including polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polybrominated 
      diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and organochlorine pesticides (OCPs). Among POPs, PCBs 
      showed the highest concentrations with elevated contributions of CB28 and CB153. 
      As for PBDEs, BDE47 was the most frequently detected congener, while BDE209 was 
      detected in barnacles from two stations in Port Klang and the levels reached up 
      to >70% of total PBDE concentrations. Concentrations of OCPs detected in 
      barnacles were in the order of CHLs > DDTs > HCHs > HCB and 4,4'-DDE and cis- and 
      trans-chlordane were the predominant OCP compounds. A comparison with previous 
      studies in Malaysia showed consistent levels of POPs. Green mussels collected 
      from selected barnacles' habitats, for the sake of a comparison, showed almost 
      similar profiles but lower concentrations of POPs. The spatial distribution of 
      POPs observed in barnacles and comparison of POP levels and profiles with mussels 
      indicated that barnacles can be useful bioindicators for monitoring POPs 
      contamination in the coastal ecosystems.
