Citation:
Echols, Kathy R, D. E. Tillitt, J. W. Nichols, Second, Anne L, AND McCarty, John P. ACCUMULATION OF PCB CONGENERS IN NESTLING TREE SWALLOWS (TACHYCINETA BICOLOR) ON THE HUDSON RIVER, NEW YORK. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY. American Chemical Society, Washington, DC, 38:6240-6246, (2004).
Impact/Purpose:
To establish a link between PCB concentrations in nestling tree swallows and the insects they consume
Description:
Together, these two papers establish a quantitative linkage between PCB concentrations in nestling tree swallows and in the insects that they consume. As such, these papers provide strong support for the use of nestling swallows as a biomonitoring species for exposure assessment of hydrophobic organic chemicals contained in aquatic sediments.
