Abstract
⺠In harbour porpoises, concentrations of organochlorine pesticides, BDEs and HBCD are declining. ⺠Concentrations of CBs have plateaued following an earlier decline. ⺠They are still at toxicologically significant levels. ⺠This raises concerns for bottlenose dolphins and killer whales, which are more highly contaminated.
