Mercury pollution in three species of waders from Shadegan wetlands at the head of the Persian Gulf.
Rasool Zamani-Ahmadmahmoodi,Abbas Esmaili-Sari,Mozhgan Savabieasfahani,Seyed Mahmoud Ghasempouri,Nader Bahramifar,Nader Bahramifar +5 more
TL;DR: Mercury (Hg) in tissues of three waders from Shadegan Wetlands is reported, and differences in Hg among waders could have resulted from diverse feeding habitats and dissimilar foraging sites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lead accumulation in feathers of nestling black‐crowned night herons (Nycticorax nycticorax) experimentally treated in the field
N. H. Golden,N. H. Golden,Barnett A. Rattner,Jonathan B. Cohen,David J. Hoffman,Estelle Russek-Cohen,Mary Ann Ottinger +6 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that feathers of nestling herons are a sensitive indicator of lead exposure and have potential application for the extrapolation of lead concentrations in other tissues and the estimation of environmental lead exposure in birds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distribution and age-related changes of trace elements in kittiwake Rissa tridactyla nestlings from an isolated colony in the German Bight, North Sea
TL;DR: It was demonstrated that particularly older chicks (≥ 6 days old) were reliable bioindicators of mercury and cadmium contaminations around Helgoland Island, indicating the importance of the ingestion of contaminated food during chick growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trace element concentrations in feathers and blood of Northern goshawk (Accipiter gentilis) nestlings from Norway and Spain.
Kevin J. Dolan,Kevin J. Dolan,Tomasz Maciej Ciesielski,Syverin Lierhagen,Igor Eulaers,Torgeir Nygård,Trond Vidar Johnsen,Pilar Gómez-Ramírez,Antonio J. García-Fernández,Jan Ove Bustnes,Manuel E. Ortiz-Santaliestra,Veerle L.B. Jaspers +11 more
TL;DR: Overall metal and trace element levels do not indicate a high risk for toxic effects in the nestlings, however levels of Cd in Tromsø and Hg in Trondheim were however above sub-lethal toxic threshold levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metal levels in livers of waterfowl from Korea.
Jungsoo Kim,Jong-Min Oh +1 more
TL;DR: In livers of four waterfowl species found in Korea, lead and cadmium concentrations were similar to previously reported in other geese and ducks; except for poisoning of lead shot or sinkers as shown in earlier studies.

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.
