Researchers at Lund University in Sweden collected dead hedgehogs to investigate the environmental pollutants found in urban environments.
They found high levels of heavy metals, pesticides, brominated flame retardants, plastic additives, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and heavy metals.
Researchers are the first to find evidence of hedgehog exposure to PAHs, phthalates and pesticides through analyses of liver tissue.
Of course, other organisms are also affected by our emissions," concludes Maria Hansson . Story Source: Journal Reference: - Noëlie Molbert, Fabrice Alliot , Aurélie Goutte , Maria C. Hansson .
