AB  - Little is known about levels or effects of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) 
      in Hawaiian monk seals (HMS) from the main Hawaiian Islands (MHI) subpopulation. 
      This study examined concentrations of a large suite of POPs in blubber and serum 
      of juvenile and adult HMS from the MHI. Adult females have the lowest blubber 
      levels of most POPs, whereas adult males have highest levels. POPs in serum were 
      significantly different in adult males compared with adult females for chlordanes 
      and summed dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethanes (DDTs). Lipid-normalized 
      concentrations of chlordanes, DDTs, polychlorinated biphenyls, and mirex in 
      paired blubber and serum samples were significantly correlated. Contaminant 
      levels from the MHI were at similar or lower levels than those from remote 
      Northwestern Hawaiian Island populations. Determining initial ranges of POPs is 
      an important step towards assessing one of the many potential health threats to 
      this critically endangered species.
