PFOS has been measured in both human populations and wildlife, including marine mammals and piscivorous birds (3M Company 2003; Giesy and Kannan 2001; Hansen et al. Because IPNV has a wide variety of host species (7,13), persistent carriers among recovered hosts (23), and the ability to be carried by piscivorous bird vectors (24), the virus is difficult to eradicate, once established. Concentrations measured in aquatic organisms were different according to their position within the food webs: predatory species, particularly the piscivorous species, have the highest levels of contamination due to the biomagnification of the methylated form of the metal. |
