Per-/poly-fluoroalkyl substances were determined in Great lakes herring gull eggs.
C6, C8, C10 PFSAs, PFEtCHxS, and C7-14/C16 PFCAs were quantifiable in > 97% of eggs.
危4PFSAs (> 90% PFOS) and 危9PFCAs ranged from 44-740 and 4.8-118 ng/g ww.
危4PFSA showed an increasing trend from the northwest to the southeast colonies.
PFOS in some egg samples were greater than lowest observed effect concentrations.
