Organohalogen exposure in a Eurasian Eagle owl (Bubo bubo) population from Southeastern Spain: Temporal-spatial trends and risk assessment

► Temporal-spatial trends of organohalogen compounds were evaluated using Eagle owl eggs. ► Our results seem to reflect the intensive agricultural practice in the study area. ► Dietary shifts and proximity to industry could cause the increase in the Southern area. ► pp′-DDE was correlated with eggshell thickness and 17% of samples exceeded the LOAEC for total TEQs. ► The correlation TEQ-metabolisable PCBs could indicate hepatic enzymes induction.
