AB  - The distance to sources and the long-range transport potential of persistent 
      organic pollutants (POPs) are important in understanding the impact of 
      anthropogenic pollution on natural seabird populations. The present study 
      documented blood concentrations of POPs in the Baltic Sea (Tvarminne, Finland) 
      population of common eiders (Somateria mollissima) in 2009 and in 2011 and 
      compared the concentrations with the presumably less exposed Arctic population in 
      Svalbard (Kongsfjorden, Norway). The Baltic population had 26, 10, and 5 times 
      greater concentrations of hexachlorocyclohexane, polychlorinated biphenyls, and 
      p,p'-dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene than the Svalbard population. Unexpectedly, 
      concentrations of chlordanes were higher in Svalbard eiders, whereas 
      concentrations of hexachlorobenzenes (HCBs) did not differ between the 2 
      populations. Although the similar HCB levels may partly be explained by the high 
      transport potential of HCBs, unknown factors may have been more important than 
      distance to sources and long-range transport potential for the chlordanes. One 
      plausible explanation may be that the fasting-related redistribution of POPs from 
      fat to blood was greater throughout the incubation in Arctic eiders, causing them 
      to have higher blood levels of these POPs at the end of incubation. The blood 
      concentrations of POPs in Baltic eiders were higher than documented in any other 
      eider population and were comparable to levels in seabirds feeding at higher 
      trophic positions in the food chain. Environ Toxicol Chem 2016;35:1526-1533. (c)
