| integrating monitoring and genetic methods to infer historical risks of pcbs and dde to common and roseate terns nesting near the new bedford harbor superfund site (massachusetts, usa). | common and roseate terns are migratory piscivorous seabirds with major breeding colonies within feeding range of the polychlorinated biphenyl (pcb)-contaminated new bedford harbor (nbh, ma, usa) superfund site. our longitudinal study shows that before pcb discharges into nbh ceased (late 1970s), tern eggs had very high but variable pcb concentrations. however, egg concentrations of pcbs as well as dde (1,1-bis(p-chlorophenyl)-2,2-dichloroethene), the degradation product of the ubiquitous global ... | 2016 | 27564328 |
