Monitoring polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon contamination in avian blood: development of a quick analytical HPLC approach and pilot application to Brown boobies (Sula leucogaster) in Southeastern Brazil
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) pose a significant threat to marine ecosystems and human health, necessitating robust monitoring strategies. Recent research addresses this challenge by detailing the development and validation of a rapid, reliable high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for quantifying 16 priority PAHs in avian blood. Applied to Brown booby specimens from Southeastern Brazil, the method revealed low-level, chronic PAH exposure, establishing an initial baseline for future monitoring.
