Distribution and partitioning of organic pollutants and effects in coastal birds

Joana Vicente de Bobes

Abstract: Coastal areas are very susceptible to contamination due to the interaction of marine and anthropogenic processes. Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are organic compounds very resistent to photolysis and chemical and biological degradation. According to its physicochemical characteristics, POPs are worldwide distributed. These contaminants tend to bioaccumulate through the food webs, so that predators are more sensitive to this contamination. Seabirds are highly exposed to organic pollutants due to the… Show more
