[Contamination of game in Schleswig-Holstein. 2. Residues of dieldrin, heptachlor epoxide and other cyclodiene insecticides in the liver fat of hares (Lepus europaeus L.)].
Increased levels of Dieldrin (0.01-2.94 mg/kg fat, median mean = 0.38 mg/kg fat) and cis-Heptachlor Epoxide (less than 0.01-1.38 mg/kg fat, mean = 0.20 mg/kg fat) were determined by GC/ECD in liver fat of 199 hares (Lepus europaeus L.) from Schleswig-Holstein, North Germany. This investigation was carried out within the scope of a game investigation program. The dependence of these residues on endogenous and exogenous factors are discussed. Oxychlordane and trans-Nonachlor, residues of Chlordane, were also analysed in liver fat by GC/MS. The application of the cyclodiene insecticides Aldrin/Dieldrin, Heptachlor and Chlordane has been prohibited in West Germany for several years; the residues indicate the high soil persistence of these substances.
