In this study, suspect screening was performed to evaluate the presence of dechloranes and their transformation products in Baltic Sea biota. A total of 31 compounds were identified, including dechloranes and their transformation products. Some transformation products had higher concentrations than the parent compounds, with Dechlorane 603 TPs being more than 10 times more abundant. The concentrations of contaminants in the most contaminated species showed little change over a period of 52 years. Most compounds exhibited a slow declining trend in concentrations, while DP and DP-TPs showed an increasing trend. The transformation products showed biomagnification, with similar or higher trophic magnification factors compared to the parent compounds.
To enhance knowledge of the environmental distribution and temporal trends of dechloranes and their transformation products (TPs) we performed suspect screening of Baltic Sea biota (eelpout, herring, harbor porpoise, guillemot and white-tailed sea eagle). Evaluation of new and digitally frozen gas chromatography/high-resolution mass spectrometry data revealed 31 compounds: five dechloranes (Dechlorane [Mirex], Dechlorane 602, Dechlorane 603, and syn-/anti-Dechlorane Plus [DP], three isomers, and 23 TPs. Six new Dechlorane 603 TPs and two new DP TPs were detected, including one hydroxy-TP. Some TPs occurred at much higher concentrations than the parent compounds (e.g., Dechlorane 603 TPs were >10-fold more abundant than their parent). Concentrations of contaminants in the most contaminated species (white-tailed sea eagle) changed little over the period 1965-2017. Slow declines were detected for most compounds (median, 2% per year), although concentrations of DP and DP-TPs increased by 1% per year. Ten contaminants biomagnify, and the trophic magnification factors for TPs of Mirex, Dechlorane 602 and Dechlorane 603 (8.2 to 17.8) were similar to the parent compounds (6.6 to 12.4) and higher than that of DP (2.4, nonsignificant). The results are discussed in relation to the current review of DP for potential listing under the Stockholm Convention on POPs.
