“…⌺DDT concentrations in ringed seal, after removing effects of sex, were uniform throughout the Canadian Arctic, however DDE concentrations were highest in Hudson Bay (Weis and Muir 1997), as was the case for polar bears. Oehme et al (1988) found two to three times higher concentrations of DDE in Svalbard ringed seal than ringed seal in the Canadian Arctic (Weis and Muir 1997). However, we found low concentrations of DDE in Svalbard bears, similar to those in the eastern Canadian Arctic (Table 4), in good agreement with those obtained by Bernhoft et al (1997) from Svalbard bears during 1990-94.…”

“…⌺PCB concentrations in beluga from the Mackenzie River estuary, Baffin Bay, Davis Strait and Hudson Bay also did not demonstrate a significant geographical variation Stern et al 1994). ⌺PCB concentrations in Alaska ringed seal tended to be lower (Schantz et al 1993), whereas ⌺PCB concentrations in Svalbard were higher (Oehme et al 1988).…”

“…Concentrations of polychlorinated dibenzo-pdioxins (PCDD) and dibenzofurans (PCDF) were determined in ringed seals collected in Kongsfjorden in 1986 (Oehme et al 1988). Levels were lower than reported from the Baltic and comparable to levels found in harbour seals from the west coast of Sweden.…”
