Tris(4-chlorophenyl)methane (TCPM-H) and tris(4-chlorophenyl)methanol (TCPM-OH) were identified and quantified in fishes (4.1-37 ng/g lipids), fish-eating birds (120-630 ng/ g), and marine mammals (13-31 ng/g) from the southern part of the Baltic Sea as well as in the egg and tissues of white-tailed sea eagles from the Baltic coastal (
