Polychlorinated Naphthalenes and Polychlorinated Biphenyls in Benthic Organisms of a Great Lakes Food Chain [PDF]

Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2004
Invasion of zebra mussels, Dreissena polymorpha, and round gobies, Neogobius melanostomus, into the Great Lakes has altered the food web structure and thereby the pathways of toxic contaminants such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs). In this study, concentrations of PCNs and PCBs were measured in organisms of a
