Results from the research will help guide future studies in the region and shed light on the health impacts of PFAS exposure to wildlife species and bioavailability of contaminants. Moreover, these results will show how top predator species play a role as indicator species in this region for emerging contaminants like PFAS.
Understanding the impacts of PFAS exposure on wildlife health, especially sentinel species like bald eagles, can provide management agencies with the necessary science to protect these species in the future.
