Journal ArticleDOI

Trophic magnification factors: Considerations of ecology, ecosystems, and study design

TL;DR: Empirical TMFs are likely to be useful for understanding the food web biomagnification potential of chemicals, but may be less useful in species- and site-specific risk assessments, where the goal is to predict absolute contaminant concentrations in organisms in relation to threshold levels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Current state of knowledge on biological effects from contaminants on arctic wildlife and fish

Rune Dietz, +73 more
TL;DR: This assessment made use of risk quotient calculations to summarize the cumulative effects of different OHC classes and mercury for which critical body burdens can be estimated for wildlife across the Arctic.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of organochlorine contaminants on loggerhead sea turtle immunity: comparison of a correlative field study and in vitro exposure experiments.

TL;DR: Current, chronic exposure to OCs may suppress innate immunity and enhance certain lymphocyte functions of loggerhead sea turtles, and correlative observations in free-ranging turtles suggest that OC exposure modulates immunity in loggerhead turtles.
Journal ArticleDOI

Determination of HBCD, PBDEs and MeO-BDEs in California sea lions (Zalophus californianus) stranded between 1993 and 2003.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that brominated compounds from both anthropogenic and biogenic sources can accumulate to similar levels in marine mammals, and HBCD concentrations appear to be increasing in California sea lion populations, whereas PBDE concentrations, between 1993 and 2003, were highly variable.
