The PCBs are the major organic compounds found in bottlenose dolphins of LFK and FCE. The PCB concentrations are higher in dolphins from LFK than FCE. The LFK and FCE dolphins have lower PCB levels than in previously published data. The Σ DL PCBs are the major contributor to the dioxin like compound sum. The T-Hg concentrations in FCE dolphins are the highest recorded.
