Exposure and effects assessment of persistent organohalogen contaminants in arctic wildlife and fish. (2010, background): “Among marine mammals, understanding dose–response relationships for aquatic mammals have been attempted especially for the adverse health effects of PCB exposure (Kannan et al., 2000) and the toxicokinetics and trends of PCBs in beluga whales (Hickie et al., 1999, 2000).”
The population decline of the New Zealand sea lion Phocarctos hookeri: a review of possible causes (2011, background): “Compared to a proposed threshold for adverse effects in marine mammals of SPCBs 17mg kg-1 (Kannan et al. 2000), the NZ sea lions’ range of 0.034–0.192mg kg-1 can be considered insignificant.”
US Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico marine mammal stock assessments - 2015 (2016, background): “Studies have suggested an increased risk of detrimental effects on reproduction and endocrine and immune system function for marine mammals in relation to tissue concentrations of PCBs (De Swart et al. 1996; Kannan et al. 2000; Schwacke et al. 2002).”
