In search of biomonitors for cadmium: cadmium content of wild Swedish fauna during 1973-1976
TLDR
The eider duck, although a short-distance migrating bird whose diet is composed mainly of mussels and crustaceans, and which lives along a great part of the Swedish coastline, is suggested as a biomonitor of cadmium for the aquatic environment.About:

TL;DR: A review of contaminants data for fish from the Northwest Territories, Yukon and northern Quebec showed mercury as the one contaminant which consistently exceeds guideline limits for subsistence consumption or commercial sale, and PCBs and cadmium were the most prominent contaminants in the species analyzed.

The use of mammals as sentinels for human exposure to toxic contaminants in the environment
TL;DR: The use of sentinel species shows the potential to bridge the gap between animal-based and human-based environmental health research and future investigators need to choose sentinels carefully, based on well-defined research questions, and confine conclusions to the particular problem the sentinel was chosen to assess.

The postglacial environmental development of Raffles Sø, East Greenland: inferences from a 10,000 year diatom record
TL;DR: A 341 cm long sediment sequence was recovered from the unofficially named Raffles So on Raffles O, outer Scoresby Sund region, East Greenland as mentioned in this paper, which consists in the upper part (0-230 cm) of a stratified gyttja enriched in organic carbon and biogenic silica whereas the lower core part (235-341 cm) is composed of terrigenous, consolidated glacio-limnic sediments 14C-AMS measurements indicate that the sediment sequence represents the entire Holocene lake history from 10,030 calibrated radiocarbon years.

TL;DR: The present study clearly identities lead as a toxic metal poison in white-tailed eagles in Germany and Austria.

The use of bird feathers for the monitoring of cadmium pollution
TL;DR: The use of bird feathers are a reliable method for monitoring cadmium pollution, but differences between feather type and age must be considered to correctly interpret data collected in the field.

Heavy metals (cadmium, copper, lead and mercury) in common eiders (Somateria mollissima) from Denmark.
Karlog O,Elvestad K,Clausen B +2 more
TL;DR: The concentrations recorded of cadmium, copper, and mercury were lower than what is usually regarded as toxic for birds, except for one eider which carried more than 2000 mg copper/kg liver tissue (dry weight).
