Abstract:Oil spills are devastating to seabirds causing high levels of mortality and toxic physiological effects, especially to immune function. Sunlight exposure can further enhance the toxicity of oil to marine species by generating photodegradation products. Photo‐enhanced oil toxicity to marine birds has not been studied. Therefore, the goal of this project was to investigate the toxicity and photo‐enhanced toxicity of oil to lymphocyte proliferation, macrophage phagocytosis, and reactive oxygen species production … Show more
