Razorbills (Alca torda) as bioindicators of mercury pollution in the southwestern Mediterranean.
Silvia Espín,Emma Martínez-López,Pilar Gómez-Ramírez,Pedro María-Mojica,Antonio J. García-Fernández +4 more
TL;DR: This work provides a solid understanding of Razorbill Hg exposure both in their wintering and breeding grounds, and shows that this species can be useful for assessing marine environmental health in the Mediterranean area.

Heavy metal distribution in chicks of two heron species from Korea.
Jungsoo Kim,Tae-Hoe Koo +1 more
TL;DR: Lead and cadmium concentrations in tissues can be used as a bioindicator of acute local contamination in herons and egrets and it is suggested that it is not chronic exposure but acute exposure to lead and Cadmium contamination around breeding site that leads to these observations.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new index for evaluation of cadmium pollution in birds and mammals
TL;DR: A new indicator for the non-polluted warm-blooded animals is established, one that is not species-dependent, which will facilitate using different species for Cd monitoring and might allow an accurate determination of whether an animal is polluted by Cd.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metal concentrations in eels Anguilla anguilla from the Camargue region of France
TL;DR: In this article, concentrations of five metals, copper (Cu), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), mercury (Hg) and zinc (Zn), were found in eels from the Camargue and Berre wetland sites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heavy metal and selenium concentrations in feathers of egrets from Bali and Sulawesi, Indonesia
Joanna Burger,Michael Gochfeld +1 more
TL;DR: For cattle egrets, secondary flight feathers had significantly higher levels of cadmium and mercury, and lower levels of manganese, than mixed breast and tertiary feathers, reflecting temporal differences in exposure.

Heavy Metal Concentrations in Muscle, Liver and Kidney Tissue of Striped Dolphin, Stenella coeruleoalba, and Their Variations with Body Length, Weight, Age and Sex
TL;DR: In this article, the concentrations of Fe, mn, Zn, Cu, Pb, Ni, Cd and Hg in the muscle, liver and kidney of fifty nine striped dolphins captured during 1977 ~ 1980 were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry.

Metal contamination of feral pigeons Columba livia from the London area: Part 1—tissue accumulation of lead, cadmium and zinc
M. Hutton,G.T. Goodman +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the feral pigeon may be used both to monitor urban lead contamination and as a model for chronic lead toxicity, in relation to the possible antagonistic role of zinc.
