  • Trends of banned pesticides and PCBs in different tissues of striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba) stranded in the Northwestern Mediterranean reflect changing contamination patterns

    2022, Marine Pollution Bulletin
    Citation Excerpt :

    Between the river mouth and the city of Marseilles also lies one of the main industrial harbor in Europe (Fos-Marseille). Previous studies reflected these contrasts with higher organochlorine pesticides levels in fish from the west and the Rhône river prodelta (Ribeiro et al., 2005; Dierking et al., 2009), as well as elevated PCB concentrations in fish and sediments by the Rhône river mouth (Salvadó et al., 2013; Cresson et al., 2015; Dron et al., 2019) and the urban centers of Marseilles, Toulon, and Nice (Garrigues et al., 1993; Wafo et al., 2006, 2016; Bouchoucha et al., 2021). The Rhône river still renders continuous organochlorine contaminants fluxes to the Mediterranean by their remobilization from river sediment, polluted soils or waste leaching (Sabatier et al., 2014; Liber et al., 2019), with a PCB input of 0.03 to 0.12 tons y−1 (sum of ICES-6 indicator PCBs) since 2001 while an earlier study estimated a flux 0.29 tons y−1 in 1994 (Launay, 2014; Poulier et al., 2018).
