FLUORINATED SURFACTANTS AND OTHER PERESISTENT ORGANIC POLLUTANTS IN AN ENDANGERED WILD BIRD SPECIES, OKINAWA RAIL (Gallirallus okinawae)

摘要：

Some of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) and new POPs chemicals, i.e., organochlorine pesticides and fluorinated surfactants (PFCs), accumulated in tissues of an endangered bird species, Okinawa rail (Gallirallus okinawae) were analyzed. Although the levels of POPs pesticides in pectoral muscles were generally low, elevated levels of chlordanes and DDTs were detected in the birds found nearby villages along the coastline. On the other hand, some of PFCs, especially perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids with odd number of carbon (perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA) and perfluoroundecanoic acid (PFuDA)), were found in a few tens to a hundred ng g-1 level in more than half of the liver samples.
