Tóm tắt

Comprehensive screening studies have revealed the accumulation of a large number of routinely unmonitored organohalogen compounds (OHCs) in cetaceans. However, these previous studies targeted only a limited number of whale species. In this study, we conducted screening and quantitative analyses to comprehensively identify OHCs accumulated in 48 adult male blubber samples of 11 whale species and to elucidate species-specific accumulation profiles. A total of 313 OHCs were detected in the blubber samples. Quantification and semiquantification results for anthropogenic OHCs and halogenated natural products (HNPs) showed compound- and species-specific accumulation patterns.
