The Enantioselective Bioaccumulation of Chiral Chlordane and α-HCH Contaminants in the Polar Bear Food Chain

The enantiomer ratios (ERs) of α-HCH and chlordane related compounds (CHLs) were examined in the polar bear food chain (arctic cod−ringed seal−polar bear), using chiral gas chromatography−mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The cod showed near-racemic mixtures (ER = 1) for most of the compounds. In contrast, ERs in ringed...

Enantioselective Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry of Methylsulfonyl PCBs with Application to Arctic Marine Mammals

Four different commercially available cyclodextrin (CD) capillary gas chromatography (GC) columns were tested for the enantioselective separation of nine environmentally persistent atropisomeric 3- and 4-methylsulfonyl PCBs (MeSO2-CBs). The selected columns contained cyclodextrins with various cavity diameters (β- or...
