A suite of twenty organophosphorus flame retardant compounds have been determined in blubber and liver tissue of twenty harbour porpoises stranded or bycaught in the UK during 2012 in order to establish current levels of contamination. Fourteen of the twenty compounds were below the limits of quantification in all samples. Six could be quantified at maximum concentrations (in blubber) between 6.7 and 246μgkg(-1) wet weight. These levels do not suggest a high level of concern regarding potential impacts and do not indicate that routine monitoring in UK porpoises is warranted at this time.
为确定当前的污染水平,对2012年在英国搁浅或误捕的20头港湾鼠海豚的鲸脂和肝脏组织中的20种有机磷阻燃化合物进行了测定。20种化合物中的14种在所有样本中均低于定量限。6种化合物能够被定量,最大浓度(在鲸脂中)在湿重6.7至246μgkg(-1)之间。这些水平并不表明对潜在影响高度担忧,也不表明此时有必要对英国港湾鼠海豚进行常规监测。
