AB  - While feathers have been successfully validated for monitoring of internal 
      concentrations of heavy metals and legacy persistent organic pollutants (POPs), 
      less is known about their suitability for monitoring of emerging contaminants 
      (ECs). Our study presents a broad investigation of both legacy POPs and ECs in 
      non-destructive matrices from a bird of prey. Plasma and feathers were sampled in 
      2015 and 2016 from 70 whitetailed eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla) nestlings from two 
      archipelagos in Norway. Preen oil was also sampled in 2016. Samples were analysed 
      for POPs (polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers 
      (PBDEs) and organochlorinated pesticides (OCPs)) and ECs (per- and 
      polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), dechlorane plus (DPs), phosphate and novel 
      brominated flame retardants (PFRs and NBFRs)). A total of nine PCBs, three OCPs, 
      one PBDE and one PFAS were detected in over 50% of the plasma and feather samples 
      within each sampling year and location. Significant and positive correlations 
      were found between plasma, feathers and preen oil concentrations of legacy POPs 
      and confirm the findings of previous research on the usefulness of these matrices 
      for non-destructive monitoring. In contrast, the suitability of feathers for ECs 
      seems to be limited. Detection frequencies (DF) of PFASs were higher in plasma 
      (mean DF: 78%) than in feathers (mean DF: 38%). Only perfluoroundecanoic acid 
      could be quantified in over 50% of both plasma and feather samples, yet their 
      correlation was poor and not significant. The detection frequencies of PFRs, 
      NBFRs and DPs were very low in plasma (mean DF: 1-13%), compared to feathers 
      (mean DF: 10-57%). This may suggest external atmospheric deposition, rapid 
      internal biotransformation or excretion of these compounds. Accordingly, we 
      suggest prioritising plasma for PFASs analyses, while the sources of PFRs, NBFRs 
      and DPs in feathers and plasma need further investigation.
