Geographical distribution and accumulation features of organochlorine residues in bivalves from coastal areas of South Korea
Marine pollution bulletin, 2002•Elsevier
As a part of Mussel Watch Program in Korea, the contamination levels and accumulation
features of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) were
assessed for 82 bivalve samples collected from 66 sites along the entire coast of Korea. The
dry weight based∑ PCBs and∑ OCPs ranged from 4.4 ng g− 1 to 422.0 ng g− 1 (geometric
mean= 36.9 ng g− 1) and from 9.95 ng g− 1 to 131.37 (34.88) ng g− 1, respectively. PCB
was predominant in Korean coast, followed by DDTs, HCHs, and Chlordanes. From the …

As a part of Mussel Watch Program in Korea, the contamination levels and accumulation features of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) were assessed for 82 bivalve samples collected from 66 sites along the entire coast of Korea. The dry weight based ∑PCBs and ∑OCPs ranged from 4.4 ng g −1 to 422.0 ng g −1 (geometric mean=36.9 ng g −1) and from 9.95 ng g −1 to 131.37 (34.88) ng g −1, respectively. PCB was predominant in Korean coast, followed by DDTs, HCHs, and Chlordanes. From the observed log normal distribution of PCB and each OCP, low- and high-levels were defined as geometric mean ±1 S.D., respectively. The levels at the sites near urban and/or industrial areas often exceeded the high-levels and the spatial distributions of ∑DDTs and ∑CHLs were correlated with that of ∑PCBs, indicating terrestrial input pathways. Even distribution of ∑HCHs suggested a possibility of atmospheric input pathway of HCHs. The observed isomer ratios of DDTs, HCHs, and CHLs indicated that aging has occurred.
