Perfluorinated alkyl substances (PFASs) are global, persistent, and toxic contaminants. We
assessed PFAS concentrations in green (Chelonia mydas) and hawksbill (Eretmochelys …

The authors compared blood plasma concentrations of 13 perfluoroalkyl contaminants
(PFCs) in five sea turtle species with differing trophic levels. Wild sea turtles were blood …

Perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) have been measured in blood of humans and wildlife and
are considered globally distributed contaminants. We examined 12 PFCs in the plasma of …

Perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) are globally distributed persistent environmental
contaminants. This study provides temporal trends as well as large-scale spatial trends of …

Lepidochelys olivacea is the most abundant and globally distributed sea turtle species in the
world and thus, monitoring this species for persistent organic pollutants, such as …

The new generation emerging toxic perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) are synthetic with
straight or branched chain organic compounds characterized by perfluorinated sulfonates …

Turtles are a potential sentinel species of aquatic ecosystem health as they inhabit aquatic
ecosystems, are long lived, and potentially have high exposure to anthropogenic chemicals …

Poly-and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) represent one of the more contemporary
chemicals of environmental concern for marine mammals. The most recent information on …

Perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) are used in a variety of industrial applications. We tested
the hypothesis that, in Amur tigers (Panthera tigris altaica), captivity in industrialized areas …

This study investigates concentrations of 18 perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in blood
plasma of adult lactating Weddell seals (Leptonychotes weddellii)(n= 10) from McMurdo …
