RT Journal Article T1 Biomonitoring of organic pollutants in pet dog plasma samples in North-Western Spain A1 González Gómez, Xiana A1 Figueiredo González, María A1 Villar Lopez, Roberto A1 Martínez Carballo, Elena K1 2391 Química Ambiental K1 2301 Química Analítica AB Most of organic pollutants (OPs) have the ability to interfere with biological systems causing negative effects in livingbeings, including humans. In the last decades, pets have been used as bioindicators of human exposure because theyshare the same habitat with their homeowners. We sought to determine levels of approximately 70 OPs, includingpolychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), polybrominated biphenyl ethers (PBDEs), organophosphatepesticides (OPPs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and pyrethroids (PYRs) in plasma samplesfrom 39 pet dogs from Ourense (north-western Spain). The results revealed that PAHs were the dominant OPs(mean value 175 ± 319 ng/g lipid weight (lw)), followed by PYRs (132 ± 352 ng/g lw), PCBs (122 ± 96 ng/glw), OCPs (33 ± 17 ng/g lw), PBDEs (19 ± 18 ng/g lw) and OPPs (2.1 ± 2.7 ng/g lw) in plasma samples. Wehave previously detected the target OPs in hair samples of pets, collected simultaneously and similar trend of someOPs has been observed. Moreover, pyrene and chrysene showed correlations between levels detected in both matrices PB The Science of The Total Environment SN 00489697 YR 2023 FD 2023 LK http://hdl.handle.net/11093/4443 UL http://hdl.handle.net/11093/4443 LA eng NO The Science of The Total Environment, 867, 161462 (2023) NO Financiado para publicación en acceso aberto: Universidade de Vigo/CISUG NO Xunta de Galicia | Ref.
