AB  - A broad suite of persistent organic pollutants (POPs), including polychlorinated 
      biphenyls (PCBs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), and 
      dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and its metabolites, were analyzed in 
      pectoral muscle of eight terrestrial passerine bird species from an extensive 
      e-waste recycling site in South China. Concentrations of PCBs, PBDEs, and DDTs in 
      bird samples ranged from 1260-279,000, 121-14,200, and 31-7910ng/g lipid weight, 
      respectively. Insectivorous birds had significantly higher levels of PCBs, PBDEs, 
      and DDTs than those in granivorous birds. Concentrations of POPs in resident 
      insectivorous birds were significantly greater than those in migrant 
      insectivorous birds. PCBs were the predominant pollutants in all bird species 
      from the e-waste site, followed by PBDEs and DDTs, indicating that PCBs were 
      mainly derived from e-wastes. The granivorous birds had higher proportions of 
      hepta-CBs in total PCBs and higher proportions of octa- to deca-BDEs in total 
      PBDEs compared with the insectivorous birds. The various dietary sources, 
      migration behavior, and possible biotransformation were suspected as reasons of 
      the distinct profiles of POPs in different bird species. The delta(15)N values were 
      significantly and positively correlated with concentrations of POPs in resident 
      insectivorous birds, but not in other passerine bird species, suggesting the 
      influence of trophic levels on bioaccumulation of POPs in resident insectivorous 
      birds. The resident insectivorous birds seem to be promising bio-sentinel of POPs 
      in terrestrial environment around the e-waste sites.
