Abstract
Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and dibenzofurans (PCDFs) we re determined in blubber tissue of one 3 month and two adult female se als from Lake Baikal. High PCDD and PCDF concentrations were found in the Baikal seal. The levels are comparable with those reported for rin ged seals (phoca hispida) living in the Baltic sea, and Barrow Strait and Admiralty Inlet in the Canadian Arctic. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
