PCBs equivalent to Aroclor 1242 and 1254 in soft tissues of oysters Crassostrea rivularis from the Guangdong coast, China, were measured using a GC-ECD. PCB concentrations (ngg⁻¹d.w.) ranged from 30 to 2040 with an average of 315 in 2003–2007, and 0.35–1.43 with an average of 0.56 in 1989–1991. Annual averages were 0.61, 0.65, 313, 290 and 342ngg⁻¹, respectively in 1989, 1991, 2003, 2006 and 2007. In east Guangdong, the Pearl River Estuary, and west Guangdong, regional means were 444, 273, 194ngg⁻¹, respectively in 2003–2007, and 0.43, 0.78, 0.38ngg⁻¹, respectively in 1989–1991, indicating PCB levels in oysters have risen greatly by ratios of 350–1032 compared with earlier data. PCB sources may derive from older transformers, printing materials and pressworks. Fortunately, current residual PCBs in the oysters were 0.004–0.253mgkg⁻¹ (w.w.), still below hygienic criteria of China and developed countries.
