The composition of PAHs and organochlorines in Manila clams collected on the mid-western coast of Korea was studied. MW202 and MW228 appeared as important individual PAH compounds implying that pyrolytic PAH is an important source for PAHs in the study area. Tetra-chloro CB appeared to be the most important congener of PCBs found in the intertidal sediments. Tetra-chloro CB and Petra-chloro CB appeared to be important congener of PCBs found in Manila clams. The reason for the different accumulation pattern of organic pollutants in Manila clams and oysters are discussed.
