Gulls foraging in landfills: Does atmospheric exposure to halogenated flame retardants result in bioaccumulation?

Several bird species have adapted to foraging in landfills, although these sites are known to represent significant sources of emissions of toxic semi-volatile chemicals including the halogenated flame retardants (HFRs) (e.g., polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and emerging compounds).
