Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are characterized by persistence in the environment, biomagnification through the food web, global transport, and adverse effects on human health and the environment. In this study, we report the concentrations of two classes of POPs, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), in plasma from two species of turtles, the Cumberland Slider (Trachemys scripta) and the common musk turtle (Sternotherus odoratus) captured in the Tennessee River Gorge, between June and September 2004. Five males and five female samples from each species were analyzed for 101 compounds (83 PCB congeners, 6 DDT compounds, and 12 additional pesticides using gas chromatography mass spectrometry in electron impact mode.
