Researches addressed in this paper have been carried out in the framework of a survey of the pollution levels by pesticides in French Polynesia coral reefs. A ubiquitous contamination has been shown up of critical organisms from various levels of the trophic web. Such a contamination occurs even in remote areas such as for example some atolls from the Tuamotu Archipelago where agricultural activities are very restricted. On one hand, the occurrence of organochlorine insecticides is shown widespread. Especially worrying is our finding of chlordecone (képone®) widely present in all organisms investigated, particularly in fishes, which are commonly consumed by the local inhabitants. Some concerns...
