Bioaccumulation of HCH isomers in selected macroinvertebrates from the Elbe River: sources and environmental implications

Original language description

Sediments of the Elbe River have been extremely polluted by contaminants originating from previous large-scale hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) production and the application of gamma-HCH (lindane) in its catchment in the second half of the twentieth century.In order to gain knowledge on bioaccumulation processes at lower trophic levels, field investigations of HCHs in macroinvertebrates were carried out along the longitudinal profile of the Elbe and tributary. Among the sites studied, concentrations in macroinvertebrates ranged within five orders of magnitude (0.01-100 mu g/kg). In general, lower values of HCH isomers were observed at all Czech sites (mostly < 1 mu g/kg) compared with those in Germany. At the most contaminated site, Spittelwasser brook (atributary of the Mulde), extremely high concentrations were measured (up to 234 mu g/kg alpha-HCH and 587 mu g/kg beta-HCH in Hydropsychidae). In contrast, the ObA (TM) istvi site, though also influenced by HCH production facilities, sho
