Abstract
⺠Short-tailed shearwaters were analyzed for polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). ⺠BDE209 and BDE183 were detected in abdominal adipose of 3 of 12 seabirds. ⺠Plastics in the stomachs of the 3 seabirds contained BDE209 and BDE183. ⺠BDE209 and BDE183 were not detected in natural prey of the shearwaters. ⺠Transfer of plastic-derived chemicals (BDE209 and BDE183) was suggested.
