AMAP Greenland and the Faroe Islands 1997-2001
Table 5.9.4 Sum PAH in lake sediment (µg/kg) and Arctic char livers (µg/kg ww) from
Southern Greenland. LMW/HMW: Ratio of sum 2-3 ringed compounds to 4-7 ringed.
Perylene/Sum Penta PAH: Ratio of Perylene to sum 5 ringed PAHs. Alkylated/Sum:
Ratio of alkylated compounds to total sum of PAHs. M: Male. F: Female. Sampling
locations are shown in Figure 5.9.1
