Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been extensively produced and used as
surfactants and repellents for decades. To date, the global contamination pattern of PFAS in …

In birds, maternal transfer is a major exposure route for several contaminants, including poly-
and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Little is known, however, about the extent of the …

Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are anthropogenic, globally distributed
chemicals. Legacy PFAS, including perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), have been regularly …

Abstract Information on the occurrence and trophodynamics of per-and polyfluoroalkyl
substances (PFASs) in the Antarctic region is limited. We investigated the occurrence of …

Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are used in many consumer
applications due to their stain repellency, surfactant properties, ability to form water-proof …

Seabirds are often considered sentinel species of marine ecosystems, and their blood and
eggs utilized to monitor local environmental contaminations. Most seabirds breeding in the …

The sources, biogeochemical controls and sinks of perfluoroalkyl substances, such as
perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs), in polar coastal regions are largely unknown. These were …

The exposure assessment component of a Wildlife Ecological Risk Assessment aims to
estimate the magnitude, frequency, and duration of exposure to a chemical or environmental …

Abstract Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) have been identified as a significant factor
driving declines in wildlife populations. These contaminants exhibit a dual tendency to …
