| Details | •Assessed how sampling scale impacts estimates of contaminant exposure to wildlife
•Maximum contaminant levels near trap site generated conservative exposure estimates. •Conservative estimates based on maximal inputs were not sensitive to sampling scale. •Realistic estimates required fine-scale animal movement and contaminant data. •Single measurements at trap site were poor predictors of actual exposures. |
