| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
As a result of tsunami of the Great East Japan Earthquake, varieties of chemicals were released into the marine environment. Present study investigated the contamination statuses, bioaccumulation and temporal trends of PCBs, BFRs, PFRs, PPCPs and trace metals in fish and cetacean samples from off-Tohoku region, Japan. Samples were collected in 2012 and 2013 and the results were compared with the archived samples stored at es-BANK, Ehime University. Concentration ranges of PCBs, PBDEs and HBCDs in fish were not much different among 2007, 2012 and 2013 samples, probably due to the different fish species analyzed, size and small sample number. When the fish trophic levels were considered, we found higher levels of PCBs and PBDEs in lower trophic level fish species collected in 2012 and 2013 than those in 2007. Levels of PFRs were higher in fish collected in 2012 and 2013 than those in 2007. Continuous monitoring survey in aquatic biota is warranted.
