Persistent organochlorine pesticides detected in blood and tissue samples of vultures from different localities in South Africa
Gaschromatography was used to establish the presence of quantifiable residues of 14 persistent chlorinated hydrocarbon pollutants in whole blood, clotted blood, heart, kidney, liver and muscle samples obtained from individual African whitebacked ( Pseudogyps africanus), Cape griffon ( Gyps coprother...
