Per and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) as a contaminant of emerging concern in surface water: A transboundary review of their occurrences and toxicity effects

Aditi Podder et al.

Summary: PFAS have been recognized as emerging contaminants by the US EPA, leading to advisory guidelines worldwide aimed at limiting their occurrences in aquatic environments, especially for PFOS and PFOA. Studies have shown that PFOA and PFOS concentrations in many surface water matrices exceed the US EPA health advisory level for lifetime exposure from drinking water.

Understanding PFAAs exposure in a generalist seabird species breeding in the vicinity of a fluorochemical plant: Influence of maternal transfer and diet

Ana Lopez-Antia et al.

Summary: Perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) are currently a focus of scientific and regulatory attention. This study examined PFAAs exposure in chicks of a generalist seabird species, finding that maternal transfer plays a significant role in determining chicks' PFAAs burden. The association between specific stable isotopes and PFOS suggests a higher exposure in birds with a predominantly marine diet.

A rapid method for the detection and quantification of legacy and emerging per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in bird feathers using UPLC-MS/MS

Thimo Groffen et al.

Summary: This study developed a rapid, sensitive, and reliable LC-MS/MS method for determining a broad range of PFAS (N = 32) in feathers, including legacy and emerging PFAS. The method was shown to be effective in detecting low PFAS concentrations in small feathers, validating its suitability for PFAS analysis in avian species.

Factors that influence trace element levels in blood and feathers of Pygoscelis penguins from South Shetland Islands, Antarctica

J. A. Padilha et al.

Summary: Contaminant levels are lower in Antarctica due to low anthropogenic activities, with the northern region of the Antarctic Peninsula experiencing the most pressure. Penguins in different locations and species showed variations in trace element concentrations and stable isotope values influenced by geographical, intraspecific (ontogenetic and gender-related), and interspecific differences in feeding habits. The bioaccumulation of trace elements in penguins may also be influenced by natural enrichment in the environment as well as human activities.
