Article Synopsis
- The study looked at harmful chemicals called persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in loggerhead turtles found on the Turkish coast, focusing on differences between male and female turtles.
- Researchers tested 10 adult turtles (5 males and 5 females) after they passed away, examining different organs to see how much of these chemicals they contained.
- They found that both male and female turtles had the highest levels of these pollutants in their fat, and the turtles can be used to help track pollution in the environment.
