Food chain sources of polychlorinated dioxins and furans to great blue herons (Ardea herodias) foraging in the Fraser River Estuary, British Columbia / A. Harfenist ... [et al.].: CW69-5/169E-PDF
"Polychlorinated dibenzodioxin (PCDD) and polychlorinated dibenzofuran (PCDF) levels in the prey of Great Blue Herons (Ardea herodias) foraging on the Fraser River estuary tidal flats were determined in 1991.
