Effects of PCDDs, PCDFs and PCBs in common tern ( Sterna hirundo ) breeding in estuarine and coastal colonies in the Netherlands and Belgium
In 1991, eggs of the common tern (Sterna hirundo) were collected at eight different locations and incubated artificially. The residual yolk sacs of the hatchlings from the highly polluted colonies, located in the main sedimentation area of the Rhine and Meuse rivers, contained on average 16 ng TEQ (...
