The contamination of tiger sharks (Galeocerdo cuvier) and bull sharks (Carcharhinus
leucas) by legacy persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and emerging organic contaminants …

Seabirds integrate bioaccumulative contaminants via food intake and have revealed
geographical trends of contamination in a variety of ecosystems. Pre-fledging seabird chicks …

Abstract Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are a global threat, but impacts of these
chemicals upon remote areas such as Antarctica remain unclear. Penguins can be useful …

Although naturally present in the environment, mercury (Hg) input is significantly amplified
by anthropogenic activities on a global scale, leading to a growing concern about the recent …

Seabirds from remote regions are mainly exposed to environmental contaminants from non-
point contamination of their food webs. Pre-fledging seabird chicks are fed by their parents …

In this study, we evaluate the main factors driving the exposure of Southern Ocean seabirds
to perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) across a wide geographic range. Five perfluoroalkane …

The levels of eighteen trace elements (TEs) were evaluated in association with stable
isotopes (δ 15 N, δ 34 S, and δ 13 C) in feathers and eggs of five migratory species breeding …

Antarctica is no longer pristine due to the confirmed presence of anthropogenic
contaminants like Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs). Benthic organisms are poorly …

Eight PBDE congeners, three emerging brominated flame retardants, five dechloranes and
eight MeO-PBDEs were monitored in tissues (muscular, adipose, brain) and fur of southern …

Understanding the drivers and effects of exposure to contaminants such as mercury (Hg)
and organochlorine compounds (OCs) in Antarctic wildlife is still limited. Yet, Hg and OCs …
