PCBs and PCTs in wolves (Canis lupus, L) in Galicia (N.W. Spain).
Levels of PCBs and PCTs (the Aroclor1260 and Aroclor5460 congeners, respectively) in viscera of wolves of Galicia (N.W. Spain) were determined by capillary GC with electron-capture detection. Mean PCB levels ranged from 0.13 mg/kg of dry tissue in kidney to 3.70 mg/kg in liver. PCTs were detected only in suprarenal capsule, their mean level being 3.77 mg/kg.
