We reconstructed the first long-term (1968-2015) spatiotemporal trends of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) using archived body feathers white-tailed eagles (Haliaeetus albicilla) from West Greenland (n = 31), Norwegian 66), and Central Swedish Baltic coasts 50). observed significant temporal perfluorooctane sulfonamide (FOSA), sulfonate (PFOS), carboxylates (∑PFCAs) in all three subpopulations. Concentrations FOSA PFOS had started decreasing significantly since mid-1990s to 2000...
The ubiquity of perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) contrasts with the limited information about their effects. We report here PFAA plasma concentrations in wild populations great tits (Parus major) settled at and vicinity a fluorochemical plant Antwerp (Belgium). Using two generations we obtained novel results on some poorly known issues such as differences between sexes, maternal transfer compounds potential associations oxidative status. For five out 11 detected PFAAs, were highest ever reported...
A wide range of species, including marine mammals, seabirds, birds prey, fish and bivalves, were investigated for potential population health risks resulting from contemporary (post 2000) mercury (Hg) exposure, using novel risk thresholds based on literature de novo contamination data. The main geographic focus is the Baltic Sea, while data same species in adjacent waters, such as Greater North Sea Atlantic, included comparative purposes. For 23% groups, each composing individuals a specific...
Fatty acids (FAs) have been extensively used as indicators of foraging ecology in marine mammals, yet their association with exposure to contaminants has rarely investigated. The present study provided the first characterization relationship between hepatic FA profiles and a suite sentinel species─the harbor seal (Phoca vitulina)─from Gulf Maine south coast Sweden. differed two populations, levels legacy alternative brominated flame retardants polyhalogenated carbazoles were significantly...
Understanding the spatiotemporal patterns of legacy organochlorines (OCs) is often difficult because monitoring practices differ among studies, fragmented study periods, and unaccounted confounding by ecological variables. We therefore reconstructed long-term (1939–2015) large-scale (West Greenland, Norway, central Sweden) trends major OCs using white-tailed eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla) body feathers, to understand exposure dynamics in regions with different contamination sources...
Nanoplastics are recognized as emerging contaminants that can cause severe toxicity to marine fishes. However, limited researches were focusing on the toxic effects of nanoplastics fish, especially post-exposure resilience. In this study, red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) exposed 5 mg/L polystyrene (100 nm, PS-NPs) for a 7-day exposure experiment, and 14-day recovery experiment followed. The aim was evaluate dynamic alterations in hepatic branchial tissue damage, antioxidant capacity, well...
Mercury has become a ubiquitous hazardous element even ending up in pristine areas such as the Arctic, where it biomagnifies and leaves especially top predators vulnerable to potential health effects. Here we investigate total mercury (THg) concentrations dietary proxies for trophic position habitat foraging (δ15N δ13C, respectively) fur of 30 Arctic wolves collected during 1869-1998 Canadian High Greenland. Fur THg (mean ± SD) 1.46 1.39 μg g -1 dry weight are within range earlier reported...
Temporal trends of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) have been extensively studied in various environmental compartments globally. However, despite the increasing use alternative flame retardants following PBDE bans, spatiotemporal these replacements rarely studied, and available results are often inconsistent. In present study, we retrospectively investigated PBDEs a suite brominated FRs (aBFRs) chlorinated (i.e., dechloranes or DECs) three harbor seal (Phoca vitulina) populations from...
Abstract The Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, a fragile ecosystem with unique biodiversity, is particularly susceptible to soil contamination from increasing anthropogenic activities like grazing and farming. However, research exploring the relationship between these factors remains limited. Our study examines changes potentially toxic elements (PTEs) after converting alpine meadows, providing insight into impact of land‐use in this area. We found significant differences concentrations PTEs (Cd, Cr,...
