据报道，持久性有机污染物（POP）和重金属在世界各地的一些绿色海龟（Chelonia mydas）种群。然而，出于伦理方面的考虑，这些研究通常是在死亡和搁浅动物的组织上进行的。本研究的目的是调查使用血液样本来估计活C的组织污染。米达斯人本研究分析了16只中国对虾血液、肝脏、肾脏和肌肉中的125种POP化合物和8种重金属。来自澳大利亚黄金海岸海洋世界海龟康复项目的mydas。观察到血液和组织中的一些持久性有机污染物和金属浓度之间存在很强的相关性。此外，这些相关性在海龟的大小，性别和条件的大范围内观察到。这些结果表明，血液样品是一种可靠的非致死性方法，用于预测化学污染的C。mydas。
Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and heavy metals have been reported in a number of green turtle (Chelonia mydas) populations worldwide. However, due to ethical considerations, these studies have generally been on tissues from deceased and stranded animals. The purpose of this study was to investigate the use of blood samples to estimate the tissue contamination of live C. mydas populations. This study analysed 125 POP compounds and eight heavy metals in the blood, liver, kidney and muscle of 16 C. mydas from the Sea World Sea Turtle Rehabilitation Program, Gold Coast, Australia. Strong correlations were observed between blood and tissue concentrations for a number of POPs and metals. Furthermore, these correlations were observed over large ranges of turtle size, sex and condition. These results indicate that blood samples are a reliable non-lethal method for predicting chemical contamination in C. mydas.
