Animals terrestrial

External events have also triggered important changes. At least 30 meteorites hit Earth each year, but collisions with very large meteorites are very rare. One, about 10 km in diameter that collided with Earth 65 million years ago, caused massive firestorms and tidal waves and triggered the extinction of many species of marine organisms and all terrestrial animals larger than about 25 kg in body weight.

In terrestrial animals, cyclodienes such as dieldrin, like other refractive lipophilic pollutants, can be excreted in their unchanged forms, notably with lipoproteins, which are exported into milk (mammals), eggs (birds, reptiles, insects), or developing... 

In terrestrial animals, the excreted products of PAHs are mainly conjugates formed from oxidative metabolites. These include glutathione conjugates of epoxides, and sulfate and glucuronide conjugates of phenols and diols.
