Abstract: | PCB Methyl sulphones (MeSQ2-CB) are persistent metabolites of PCBs and can be found in cetacean blubber and liver. MeSQ2-CBs can bind intracellular receptors in utems and lung ' , potentially causing adverse effects on embryo implantation / viability during the early gestation period . They have been reported in several cetacean species, including Beluga Whale (Delphinapterus leucas) , Fmse Killer Whale (Pseudorca crassidens) and the Blue Whale (Balaenoptera novaeangelica) . |
