| Description/Abstract | Organochlorine chemicals have been found to be present in aquatic and terrestrial mammal species. Although some of these animals are not edible or not specially important as a source of proteins for human or domestic animals, the detection of accumulated organochlorine compounds in their bodies is useful to control the grade of extension and to monitor the evolution of these xenobiotics in biosphere. Data on this subject in south-west European non-migratory mammalian wildlife are for the most part unknown. The chamois or izard (Rupicapra rupicapra) is a typical inhabitant of many euroasiatic high mountains. There are two subspecies of chamois in Spain. The pyrenean chamois is fortunately present in sufficient number in some zones of the Catalan Pyrnees, that its hunting for population control is allowed during a short period of the year. The Natural Park of Cadi-Moixero is one of these zones. Only an insignificant part of its soil is dedicated to agricultural uses, and no industries are found inside or near its domain. The purpose of this work is to present organochlorine residue data for chamois collected in this zone. |
