- •
A suite of 15 PFAAs was measured in the plasma of over 200 American alligators.
- •
Approximately 10 males and 10 females were sampled each month for the years of 2008 and 2009.
- •
No seasonal trends were noted but unique spatial trends were observed.
- •
Measured PFAAs co-varied strongly suggesting more than one source of PFAAs at MINWR.
- •
Past use of AFFF at MINWR may be a contributor to the elevated levels of PFAAs in the alligators.
