Widespread contamination of coastal sediments in the Transmanche Channel with anti-androgenic compounds

•Anti-androgen (AA) activity was detected in extracts of coastal sediments.•AA activity was 0.2–224.3±38.4μg flutamide equivalents/g dry weight of sediment.•AA activity was present in clams due to uptake of a series of 4 or 5 ring PAHs. This study analysed the levels of androgen receptor antagonist...
