Persistent Organic Pollutants and Vitamins in Northern Fur Seals (Callorhinus ursinus) Collected from St. Paul Island, Alaska as Part of the Alaska Marine Mammal Tissue Archival Project

August 1, 2013

Liver and blubber samples from 50 juvenile male northern fur seals (Callorhinus ursinus) were collected on St. Paul Island from four different seal rookeries between 1987 and 2007. Samples were analyzed for vitamins and for both legacy and current-use

Spatial and temporal trends of persistent organic pollutants and mercury in beluga whales (Delphinapterus leucas) from Alaska

January 24, 2013

Jennifer Hoguet, Jessica Reiner, Jennifer Lynch, John Kucklick, Colleen E. Bryan Sallee, Amanda Moors, Rebecca Pugh, Paul R. Becker
Remote locations, such as the Arctic, are often sinks for persistent contaminants which can ultimately bioaccumulate in local wildlife. Assessing temporal contaminant trends in the Arctic is important in understanding whether restrictions on legacy

Perfluoroalkyl Contaminants in Plasma of Five Sea Turtle Species: Comparisons in Concentration and Potential Health Risks

May 23, 2012
Author(s)
Jennifer M. Lynch, Lily Ngai, Joanne Braun-McNeill, Larry Wood, Kelly Stewart, Steven O'Connell, John R. Kucklick
We compared the plasma concentration of 13 perfluorinated contaminants (PFCs) in five sea turtle species. Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) was predominant in most species, except hawksbills had higher concentrations of perfluorononanoate. Excluding

Determination of Perfluorinated Alkyl Acid Concentrations in Biological Standard Reference Materials

April 4, 2012
Author(s)
Jessica L. Reiner, Jennifer M. Lynch, Michele M. Schantz, Steven O'Connell, Craig M. Butt, Scott Mabury, Jeff Small, Amila De Silva, Derek Muir, Amy D. Delinsky, Mark J. Strynar, Andrew B. Lindstrom, William K. Reagen, Michelle Malinsky, Sandra Schafer, Christiaan Kwadijk
Standard Reference Materials (SRMs) are homogeneous, well-characterized materials that are used to validate measurements and improve the quality of analytical data. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has a wide range of SRMs that

The immunotoxicity of perfluorinated compounds: Recent developments

March 19, 2012
Author(s)
Jennifer M. Lynch, Jamie DeWitt, M.M. Peden-Adams, Dori Germolec
Perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) are environmentally widespread, persistent, and bioaccumulative chemicals with multiple toxicities reported in experimental models and wildlife, including immunomodulation. The two most commonly detected compounds, which

Geographical variation of Persistent Organic Pollutants in eggs of threatened loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) from Southeastern USA

April 4, 2011
Author(s)
Jennifer M. Lynch, Juan Alava, Jeanette Wyneken, Larry Crowder, Geoffrey Scott, John R. Kucklick
Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are a recognized man-made threat to sea turtle populations, but the uncertainty surrounding exposure and sensitivity of sea turtles to contaminants is great and makes decision making difficult for conservation managers

Specimen Banking for Marine Animal Health Assessment

November 8, 2010
Author(s)
John R. Kucklick, Rebecca S. Pugh, Paul R. Becker, Jennifer M. Lynch, Russell D. Day, Jennifer Yordy, Amanda J. Moors, Steven J. Christopher, Colleen E. Bryan Sallee, Lori Schwacke, Randall S. Wells, Brian C. Balmer, Aleta Hohn, Teri Rowles
Marine animals are faced with health threats including disease and accumulation of toxic pollutants. There are several efforts in the USA seeking to relate health metrics to the exposure of marine animals to pollution, biotoxins, and disease. The National
