Distribution of individual PCB congeners in samples from the Adriatic Sea (â– ) and the Tyrrhenian (â–¨) Sea. Species from the Adriatic Sea were more contaminated than those collected in the Tyrrhenian Sea. Number of positive samples (n) for individual PCB congener in the Adriatic Sea: PCB 28 (n = 6), PCB 52 (n = 8), PCB 101 (n = 6), PCB 118 (n = 7), PCB 138 (n = 14), PCB 153 (n = 18), PCB 180 (n = 15). Number of positive samples (n) for individual PCB congener in the Tyrrhenian Sea: PCB 28 (n = 18), PCB 52 (n = 4), PCB 101 (n = 12), PCB 118 (n = 7), PCB 138 (n = 5), PCB 153 (n = 11), PCB 180 (n = 11).
