TLDR
The results indicate that consideration of the growth stage of organs and tissues is necessary for understanding the bioaccumulation processes and the toxicological criteria of the metals.Citations

The great egret (Ardea alba) as a bioindicator of trace element contamination in the São Paulo Metropolitan Region, Brazil
TL;DR: In this paper, the concentrations of Br, Cd, Co, Cs, Cu, Fe, Hg, K, Mg, Mn, Na, Rb, Se and Zn were determined in livers of great egrets (Ardea alba) by the methods of Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis and Atomic Absorption Spectrometry.

Metal and metalloid levels in blood of semipalmated sandpipers (Calidris pusilla) from Brazil, Suriname, and Delaware Bay: Sentinels of exposure to themselves, their prey, and predators that eat them
TL;DR: Blood from semipalmated sandpiper wintering in northern and northeastern South America was collected to examine levels of heavy metals and metalloids (arsenic, selenium), and compare them to blood levels in sandpipers at a heavily used stopover site in New Jersey.

Acute and/or chronic contaminations of heavy metals in shorebirds from Korea
Jungsoo Kim,Tae-Hoe Koo +1 more
TL;DR: In Red-necked Stints, lead and cadmium concentrations in each tissue were higher than the background levels for wild birds and both metals were considerably greater that reported previously for shorebirds.

Heavy Metals in Biota in Delaware Bay, NJ: Developing a Food Web Approach to Contaminants
Joanna Burger,Nellie Tsipoura,Lawrence J. Niles,Amanda Dey,Christian Jeitner,Michael Gochfeld +5 more
TL;DR: Examination of levels of cadmium, lead, mercury, and selenium in biota from Delaware Bay to begin construction of a “springtime” food web that focuses on shorebirds finds a significant direct relationship between the levels of metals in eggs of horseshoe crabs and mean metal levels in the blood of four species of shorebirds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of the environmental quality and food chain on trace element concentrations in Heron and Egret chicks at Pyeongtaek Colony, Korea
Jungsoo Kim,Jong-Min Oh +1 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that lead concentrations in chicks can reflect qualities of feeding area such as streams, rivers and paddy fields and chicks represent a bioindicator to evaluate lead contamination in aquatic ecosystems.

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.
