From 1977-1978 to 1990, concentrations of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and most organochlorine pesticides declined in eggs of red-breasted mergansers (Mergus serrator) nesting on islands in northwestern Lake Michigan. Further declines took place between 1990 and 2002. Between 1977-1978 and 1990 total PCBs decreased 60% (from 21 to 8.5 microg/g, wet weight). An additional decline of 46% took place between 1990 and 2002 (8.5 to 4.6 microg/g). Between 1977-1978 and 1990 p,p (')-DDE decreased 66% (from 6.5 to 2.2 microg/g), and from 1990 to 2002 an additional decline of 36% took place (from 2.2 to 1.4 microg/g). Between 1977-1978 and 1990 dieldrin decreased only 16% (from 0.82 to 0.69 microg/g), but from 1990 to 2002 a 96% decrease occurred (from 0.69 to 0.03 microg/g).
从 1977-1978 年到 1990 年,在密歇根湖北部岛屿上筑巢的红胸秋沙鸭(Mergus serrator)的卵中,多氯联苯(PCBs)和大多数有机氯农药的浓度下降。1990 年至 2002 年期间,浓度进一步下降。从 1977-1978 年到 1990 年,总 PCB 减少了 60%(从 21 微克/克降至 8.5 微克/克,湿重)。1990 年至 2002 年期间,又减少了 46%(从 8.5 微克/克降至 4.6 微克/克)。从 1977-1978 年到 1990 年,p,p' -DDE 减少了 66%(从 6.5 微克/克降至 2.2 微克/克),而从 1990 年至 2002 年,又减少了 36%(从 2.2 微克/克降至 1.4 微克/克)。从 1977-1978 年到 1990 年,狄氏剂仅减少了 16%(从 0.82 微克/克降至 0.69 微克/克),但从 1990 年至 2002 年,减少了 96%(从 0.69 微克/克降至 0.03 微克/克)。
