PCB concentrations and metabolism patterns in common terns (Sterna hirundo) from different breeding colonies in the Netherlands
PCB levels in blood of common terns (Sterna hirundo) from Terneuzen, a breeding colony in The Netherlands with relatively low breeding success, were significantly higher than in birds from two Dutch reference colonies, one nearby (Oesterdam) and one further away (the Isle of Griend). However, a deta...
