Snapping turtles, PCDD

PCDD/Fs were first surveyed in tissues from two snapping turtles from the Lake Ontario-St. Lawrence river corridor in 1985 [81]. Concentrations of 2378-TeCDD were 32-107 ngkg-1 in liver and 232-474ngkg-1 in fat, while 2378-TeCDF concentrations were much lower, <2-12 ngkg-1. Concentrations... [Pg.118]

Fish in the Great Lakes and Baltic contain 1-100 ppt of PCDD and the fat of snapping turtles accumulates about 400 ppt. In general, fat accumulates about 20 times the amount of dioxin present in the food source (8). [Pg.6]
