TI  - Persistent organic pollutants in Alaskan murre (Uria spp.) eggs: geographical, 
      species, and temporal comparisons.
PG  - 1305-12
AB  - Concentrations of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in eggs of common and 
      thick-billed murres (Uria aalge and U. lomvia) from five Alaskan nesting colonies 
      were dominated by 4,4'-DDE, total polychlorinated biphenyls (totalPCBs; 46 
      congeners comprised mainly of PCB congeners 153, 118, 138, 99, and 151), 
      hexachlorobenzene (HCB), beta-hexachlorocyclohexane (beta-HCH), and chlordane 
      compounds (totalCHL). Concentrations of 4,4'-DDE, cis-nonachlor, and heptachlor 
      epoxide were lower than those reported for some of the same colonies in the 
      1970s, while HCB concentrations were similar. In general, significantly higher 
      concentrations were found in eggs from Gulf of Alaska colonies compared to those 
      from Bering Sea colonies except for HCB (higher in the Bering Sea) and beta-HCH 
      (no significant difference between the two regions). Thick-billed murre eggs 
      contained higher concentrations of 4,4'-DDE and totalPCBs, whereas common murre 
      eggs had higher HCB concentrations. Possible factors contributing to the POPs 
      patterns found in eggs from these murre colonies are discussed.
