| temporal and spatial trends of perfluorinated compounds in juvenile loggerhead sea turtles (caretta caretta) along the east coast of the united states. | perfluorinated compounds (pfcs) are globally distributed persistent environmental contaminants. this study provides temporal trends as well as large-scale spatial trends of pfc concentrations in threatened juvenile loggerhead sea turtles near or from florida bay (fl bay), cape canaveral (fl), charleston (sc), core sound (nc), and chesapeake bay (md). pfcs were extracted from 163 plasma and serum samples using solid-phase extraction and quantified with lc-ms/ms. concentrations of six compounds si ... | 2010 | 20521819 |
