AB  - Eggs of 3 seabird species, common eider (Somateria mollisima), European shag 
      (Phalacrocorax aristotelis aristotelis), and European herring gull (Larus 
      argentatus), were surveyed for a broad range of legacy and emerging pollutants to 
      assess chemical mixture exposure profiles of seabirds from the Norwegian marine 
      environment. In total, 201 chemical substances were targeted for analysis ranging 
      from metals, organotin compounds, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), 
      polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and associated metabolites, chlorinated 
      paraffins, chlorinated and nonchlorinated organic pesticides, per- and 
      polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), dechlorane plus, octachlorostyrene, brominated 
      flame retardants (BFRs), organophosphorous compounds, brominated and alkyl 
      phenols, cyclic siloxanes, and phthalates. Of the chemicals targeted, 149 
      substances were found above the detection limits, with metals dominating the 
      contaminant profile and comprising 60% of the total contaminant load. 
      Polychlorinated biphenyls, pesticides, organophosphorous compounds, and PFAS were 
      the dominant contaminant classes of organic pollutants found within the seabird 
      species, with the highest loads occurring in herring gulls, followed by shag, and 
      common eider. New generation pollutants (e.g., PFAS, organophosphorous compounds, 
      and alkylphenols) were detected at similar or higher concentrations than the 
      legacy persistent organic pollutants (POPs). Time trends of reported 
      concentrations of legacy POPs appear to have decreased in recent decades from the 
      Norwegian coastal environment. Concentrations of detected pollutants do not 
      appear to have a negative effect on seabird population development within the 
      sampling area. Additional stress caused by pollutants, however, may affect 
      seabird health more at the individual level.
