“…To date, few studies have measured environmental contaminant concentrations in PS. Tissue samples taken from three GPMU PS and 13 other PS, mostly collected from the CPMU, had metals (mercury, cadmium, and selenium), PCBs, and organochlorine pesticides (chlordane, DDT, DDE, and dieldrin) at concentrations of concern (Ruelle and Keenlyne, ; Ruelle and Henry, ). In at least two instances individual PS have been observed with both female and male sex organs (DeLonay et al., , ) a condition that may be associated with high levels of endocrine‐disrupting contaminants (Harshbarger et al., ).…”
