We analyzed polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in abdominal adipose of oceanic seabirds (short-tailed shearwaters, Puffinus tenuirostris) collected in northern North Pacific Ocean. In 3 of 12 birds, we detected higher-brominated congeners (viz., BDE209 and BDE183), which are not present in the natural prey (pelagic fish) of the birds. The same compounds were present in plastic found in the stomachs of the 3 birds. These data suggested the transfer of plastic-derived chemicals from ingested plastics to the tissues of marine-based organisms.
我们分析了北太平洋采集的海洋海鸟(短尾信天翁,Puffinus tenuirostris)腹部脂肪中的多溴二苯醚(PBDEs)。在 12 只鸟中的 3 只中,我们检测到了高溴同系物(即 BDE209 和 BDE183),这些物质不存在于鸟类的天然食物(远洋鱼类)中。这 3 只鸟的胃中也发现了同样的化合物存在于塑料中。这些数据表明,从摄入的塑料中转移到海洋生物组织中的塑料衍生化学物质。
