This study investigated wild caught Striped mullet (Mugil cephalus) at Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge (MINWR) for levels of 15 perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) in tandem with fecundity measurements (n = 42) and oocyte developmental stages (n = 128)

Analysis of PFAAs in American alligators Part 1: Concentrations in alligators harvested for consumption during South Carolina public hunts.

Environmental contamination resulting from the production or release of harmful chemicals can lead to negative consequences for wildlife and human health. Perfluorinated alkyl acids (PFAAs) were historically produced as protective coatings for many

Analysis of PFAAs in American alligators Part 2: Potential dietary exposure of South Carolina hunters from recreationally harvested alligator meat

This study collected male Mozambique tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) from Loskop Dam, Mpumalanga, South Africa in 2014 and 2016 to investigate the levels of 15 perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) across six tilapia tissues. Nine of the 15 PFAAs were detected

Associations between perfluorinated alkyl acids measured in blood and ovarian follicular fluid and ovarian function in women undergoing assisted reproductive treatment

Jessica L. Reiner, John Bowden, Ian Christie, Matthew P. Guillette, Russell H. Lowers, Arnold Brunell, Phillip M. Wilkinson, Jacqueline T. Bangma, Thomas R. Rainwater, Louis J. Guillette Jr., Martin Jones
This study was the first to quantitate fourteen perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) in 125 adult American alligators at twelve sites across the southeastern US. Of those fourteen PFAAs, nine were commonly detected. Males as a group (across all sites) showed a

Spatial variation in perfluoroalkyl acids in a population of wild American alligators (Alligator mississippiensis) at Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge (MINWR) surrounding the Kennedy Space Center (KSC)
