| Abstract | Polychlorinated hydrocarbons used as pes t ic ides and as indust r ia l chemica l s have been recognized as being ecological ly significant c o m pounds s ince they a r e metabol ica l ly quite r e c a l c i t r a n t and thus tend to accumula te in va r ious global e c o s y s t e m s (ABBOTT et al. 1966; JENSEN et al. 1969; RISEBROUGH et al. 1968). Genera l ly the higher t rophic level o r g a n i s m s , such as b i rds , f ish, and some m a r i n e and t e r r e s t r i a l an ima l s , contain i n c r e a s e d concent ra t ions of chlor inated hydroca rbons . Studies have indicated that some f ish taken f r o m the Grea t Lakes p o s s e s s ch lo rohydroca rbon pes t ic ide r e s idue concentra t ions in excess of 5.0 p p m t h e i n t e r i m admin i s t r a t i ve l im i t for DDT in food se t by the United States Food and Drug Admin is t ra t ion (FDA) (HENDERSON et al . 1969; POFF and DEGURSE 1970; REINERT 1970). Recently, po lych lo r inated biphenyls (PCBs) usual ly identified as Aroc lo r and the pes t ic ide m i r e x ~ have been identified in Lake Ontario fish (KAISER 1974). |
