Research team member John Smol of Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, said "the effect is to elevate concentrations of pollutants such as mercury and DDT to as much as 60 times that of areas not influenced by seabird populations."

Absolute measurements, please. Raising 1 picogram to 60 picograms wouldn't impress me, yet it's still "60 times higher".
