The Use of Bioindication for the Evaluation of the Environment

conference paper

Czech

Indicator PCB congeners were monitored in the matrices of selected bioindicators of animal origin that occurred in the site where Delor 106 was used during the manufacture of paints and varnishes from 1970 to 1985 and where there was a factory for the preparation of precoated gravel using a technological procedure requiring Delor 103. It was shown that game, small ground-living mammals, fish and the bodies of dead bees can be employed as sensitive indicators of the pollution in a particular ecosystem. The lowest concentrations of PCBs were found for PCB 101 and 118, while the highest concentrations of PCBs were detected for PCB 138 in all of the materials mentioned above.
