Table 4.

Summary of persistent organic pollutants (ΣPOPs, ΣPCB, ΣOCP) concentrations in recaptured turtles, as well as their change in POP concentrations since their first capture. No turtle was caught more than twice. N.D. signifies that no analytes were detected. ΣPOPs, ΣPCB, and ΣOCP concentrations are in ng/g blood plasma lipid. (%Δ) Refers to the percent change in analyte concentrations from first capture to recapture.
