AB  - The chemical contamination of the Loire estuary by three classes of persistent 
      organic pollutants (POPs): the polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), the 
      polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and the perfluorinated and polyfluorinated 
      alkyl substances (PFAS), and three families of organic contaminants, the 
      alkylphenols (APs), the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon metabolites (OH-PAHs) and 
      the bisphenol A (BPA) were investigated in the muscles and bile of European eel 
      (Anguilla anguilla). Yellow eels (n=30) were caught in three different points 
      along the estuary to highlight variations between sites and sources of 
      contaminations. Silver eels (n=15) were also studied to compare contaminant 
      impregnation between different life stages of the species. Average concentrations 
      in the muscles of the eel ranged between: 857 and 4358 ng/gLW for the PCBs, 26 
      and 46 ng/gLW for the PBDEs, 130 and 1293 ng/gLW for the PFAS; and in bile: 31 
      and 286 mug/g protein for the APs, 9 and 26 mug/g protein for the OH-PAHs and 
      ND-1213 mug/g protein for the BPA. Among PCBs, PCB 153 (40% contribution to the 
      sum of PCBs) was predominant in all eel muscles. PBDE 47 (60%) was the most 
      predominant PBDE congeners, while perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (85%) was the most 
      widely detected PFAS. For APs, 4p-nonylphenol (91%) was the most abundant and for 
      the OH-PAHs, it was 1OH-Pyrene (63%). All the eels exceeded the environmental 
      quality standards (EQS) for biota for the PBDEs and about 75% were higher than 
      the EQS specific to PFOS. Finally, 20% of the analyzed eels presented TEQ 
      concentrations above the maximum limits for lipid-rich species. These results 
      supplied new data on the occurrence, levels, and patterns of 53 organic chemicals 
      in the eels from the Loire estuary and they highlighted the need of further 
      investigations focused notably on the potential effects of these chemicals on 
      this species and their analysis in the water and sediments of the estuary.
