AB  - Ecotoxicological and pathological research on Grampus griseus (Cuvier, 1812) 
      (Risso's dolphins) is scarce both globally and in the Mediterranean Sea. This 
      species has been classified as "Vulnerable" by the International Union for 
      Conservation of Nature (IUCN) in the Mediterranean Sea. To evaluate the presence 
      of "persistent organic pollutants" (POPs), especially organochlorine compounds 
      (OCs), in the animals, chemical analyses were performed on tissues and organs of 
      Risso's dolphin stranded along the Italian coasts between 1998 and 2021. Toxic 
      contaminants such as hexachlorobenzene (HCB), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), 
      dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane and its metabolites (DDTs) were examined in the 
      blubber, liver, muscle, and brain of 20 animals, and data was correlated with 
      sex, age, and stranding locations.
