Abstract

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), poly- brominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and poly- chlorinated dibenzo- p -dioxins/furans (PCDD/ Fs) are well-known ubiquitous contaminants, persistent in the environment and could bioamplify in trophic food webs [...]
