Table S17 Comparison of DDT concentrations (ng/g) ± SE in wild terrestrial mammalian predators from published studies. Where possible, like tissue was compared with like, but where not, serum/plasma was compared with caracal whole blood and liver/kidney was compared with caracal adipose.

Where possible, like tissue was compared with like, but where not, serum/plasma was compared with caracal whole blood and liver/kidney was compared with caracal adipose., Peer reviewed
