Article Synopsis
- Liquid crystal monomers (LCMs) are identified as new organic pollutants due to their ability to persist, accumulate, and be toxic in the environment, particularly in the Pearl River Estuary (PRE).
- A study analyzed 19 different LCMs in various organisms, revealing their concentrations ranged from 32.35 to 1367 ng/g lipid weight, with biphenyls being the most prevalent.
- The research highlighted that the bioaccumulation and transfer of these pollutants across the food web are influenced by factors such as hydrophobicity and biological behavior, marking LCMs like BPCHB and EDPBB as priority contaminants for further monitoring.
A trophic position (TP) model (TP model) that simultaneously considered trophic discrimination factor and β variations was developed in this study and was first applied to investigate the trophic transfer of halogenated organic pollutants (HOPs) in wetland food webs. The TP model characterized the structure of the wetland food web more accurately and significantly improved the reliability of TMF compared to the TP, TP, and TP models, which were calculated based on the methods of stable nitrogen isotope analysis of bulk, traditional AAs-N-CSIA, and weighted β, respectively. Food source analysis revealed three interlocking food webs (kingfisher, crab, and frogs) in this wetland.
