Persistent Organic Pollutants in Bivalves from Peter the Great Bay, Sea of Japan
摘要
This study provides data on the current levels of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in soft tissues of bivalves from Peter the Great Bay, Sea of Japan, and results of a comparative analysis of data reported by other authors for the Asia–Pacific region. The data obtained showed the presence of persistent organic pollutants in all soft tissue samples within a range from 0.6 to 2,769.7 ng/g lipid weight. Comparative analysis of POP levels in bivalve mollusks demonstrated lower concentrations in Russia compared to other Asia–Pacific countries.
