Organochlorine concentrations in bald eagles: Brain/body lipid relations and hazard evaluation

Residue levels of 12 organochlorine compounds found In the brains of bald eagles can be predicted from the corresponding concentrations in the carcass when expressed on a hexane‐extractable lipid basis. The compounds varied by a factor of about 3 in the degree to which they accumulated In the brain. An understanding of these relations enhances our ability to assess the toxic hazards of environment
