Intrapopulation and temporal differences of phthalate concentrations in North Atlantic fin whales (Balaenoptera physalus).
The fin whale (Balaenoptera physalus) is a migratory filter-feeding species that is susceptible to ingest plastics while lunge feeding across the oceans. Plastic additives, such as phthalates, are compounds that are added to plastics to give them specific characteristics, such as flexibility. These...
