| Popis: | Three 14 C-labelled polychloroalkanes (C 12 and C 16 ), representing low (23% Cl by weight), medium (51%), and highly (68%) chlorinated paraffin (CP) mixtures, were presented to rainbow trout via the water. The uptake in fat-rich tissues was positively correlated to the degree of chlorination of the preparations. Notably, all preparations gave rise to a high and selective uptake of radioactivity in the olfactory organ and gills. This selective radiolabelling may reflect a general ability of these organs to enrich xenobiotics from the surrounding water. The olfactory organ may be a hitherto unforseen target for toxic environmental pollutants in fish. |
