Large-scale contaminant exposure was assessed in Puffinus puffinus, indicating environmental monitoring implications.
) were below the lowest-observed-effect level (LOEL) for CYP1A induction in birds and within the range reported for other Procellariiformes. These findings demonstrate the widespread exposure of P. puffinus to organic contaminants across oceanic regions and reinforce the value of migratory seabirds as bioindicators of large-scale marine contamination, contributing to environmental monitoring and conservation initiatives along the Brazilian coast.
