“…The suitability of feathers in estimating persistent organic contaminants (POPs) has been reported. Yin et al (2018) reported that higher brominated congeners, e.g., showed comparable dominance in both feather and muscle. Furthermore, the significantly correlated concentrations of lower brominated congeners in feather with those in muscle (p<0.05), suggests that feathers could efficiently reflect low brominated BDEs in the internal tissue of birds of prey.…”

The decline in animal population with resulting risk of eventual disruption of ecosystem functioning has necessitated moves towards non-invasive sampling methods for ecotoxicological studies. These efforts have focused on developing sampling methodologies geared towards prioritizing conservation of biodiversity. Using a rapid review approach, 106 articles covering peer-reviewed studies, theses, and manuscripts under peer-review quantifying contaminants in feathers were examined. Meta-analysis of extracted information (n=91) revealed that most studies on feather contaminants originate from Europe (47.6 %) and Asia (32.9%), with a higher occurrence of such studies between 2015 and 2020. The most utilized feather-type across studies were body feathers (28.6%) and tail feathers (20%). Majority of the studies (60.5%) used feathers alone to estimate contaminant exposure and uptake; 14.8% used feathers and blood, while 12.3% used feathers and soft tissues (liver, kidney, muscle etc.). Inferences from the review reveal that feathers as a non-invasive sampling method provide advantages by having contaminant concentrations that are relatable with internal organs of birds, captures information on ambient contaminant concentrations based on exogenous contributions and application for historic studies. However, some available data indicate that selective uptake of some metals in organs of species could significantly reduce the number of contaminants stored in feathers and may limit its accuracy for biomonitoring. Furthermore, the different degrees of external deposition of persistent organic contaminants (PCBs, PBDEs, etc) onto the feather surface due to differential degradability/metabolization may limit the use of feathers to estimate exogenous effects. Nonetheless, while feathers have been used successfully as a non-invasive method for ecotoxicological monitoring of metals, metalloids and organic pollutants, knowledge on bird ontogeny and contaminant-specific trends in feathers could improve the accuracy of monitoring. Further efforts towards broadening the impact and advancement of this field method in future studies of avian research especially in developing countries is recommended.

“…The concentrations of ∑PBDEs detected in chicken livers range from 1.5 to 7.9 × 10 3 ng/g lipid in an e‐waste recycling site in South China (Luo et al, 2009). Moreover, the highest concentration of ∑PBDEs is as high as 7.8 × 10 4 ng/g lipid in the bird muscles in Beijing, China (Yin et al, 2018). The weaker accumulation capacity of OH‐PBDEs may because they are easily transformed into glucuronide and sulfate conjugates, which are readily excreted from bodies (Cisneros, Agarwal, & James, 2019).…”

Hydroxylated polybrominated diphenyl ethers (OH‐PBDEs) are of particular concern due to their ubiquitous distribution and adverse health effects. Significant progress has been made in the characterization of OH‐PBDEs by using mass spectrometry (MS). In this review, we summarize applications of MS‐based techniques in detection, environmental and biota distribution, and potential health risk effects, hoping to unfold an overall picture on account of current knowledge of OH‐PBDEs. The analytical methodologies are discussed from sample pretreatment to MS analysis. The methods including gas chromatography‐MS (GC‐MS), liquid chromatography‐MS (LC‐MS), and ion mobility spectrometry‐MS (IMS‐MS) are discussed. GC‐MS is the most frequently adopted method in the analysis of OH‐PBDEs due to its excellent chromatographic resolution, high sensitivity, and strong ability for unknown identification. LC‐MS has been widely used for its high sensitivity and capability of direct analysis. As a newly developed technique, IMS‐MS provides high specificity, which greatly facilitates the identification of isomers. OH‐PBDEs pervasively existed in both abiotic and biotic samples, including humans, animals, and environmental matrices. Multiple adverse health effects have been reported, such as thyroid hormone disruption, estrogen effects, and neurotoxicity. The reported potential pathological mechanisms are also reviewed. Additionally, MS‐based metabolomics, lipidomics, and proteomics have been shown as promising tools to unveil the molecular mechanisms of the toxicity of OH‐PBDEs. © 2020 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
