New research, 'Perfluorooctane sulfonate and other fluorochemicals in waterbird eggs from south China,' is the subject of a report. "To our knowledge, this is the first study reporting concentrations of perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) in waterbird eggs in south China. Concentrations of 11 PFCs (PFOS, PFHxS, PFBS, PFOSA, PFDoDA, PFUnDA, PFDA, PFNA, PFOA, PFHpA, PFHxA) were measured in night heron, great egret, and little egret eggs from south China (Hong Kong, Xiamen, Quanzhou)," investigators in People's Republic of China report (see also Life Sciences).
