Research Abstract |
The present study investigated the accumulation features of lower-chlorinated OH-PCBs in the blood and brain of cetaceans and transitional state of these OH-PCBs into the brain was clarified. Optimization of the extraction and clean-up method was developed for the analyses of lower-chlorinated OH-PCBs in the blood and brain of cetaceans. OH-PCBs tend to accumulate at higher levels in brain than in blood, yet no statistical significance was observed. Congener profile of OH-PCBs in brain was different from that in blood ; penta-chlorinated congeners were dominant in the brain. Thus, specific transfer and accumulation of penta-chlorinated congeners in brain was suspected.
