Small Mammals as Monitors of Environmental Contaminants
TL;DR: A relationship between contaminant exposure and trophic level emerged and a substantial number of these biomonitoring studies using small mammals collectively point to the importance of food habits and habitat of small mammals, and their availability and abundance as factors that should influence species selection for monitoring studies.

Uptake and retention of dietary cadmium in mallard ducks
Donald H. White,Mack T. Finley +1 more
TL;DR: Tissue residues were significantly correlated in all treatment groups and residues increased with treatment level, and little cadmium accumulated in eggs of laying hens, but egg production was suppressed in the group fed 200 ppm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tissue, sex and age specific accumulation of heavy metals (Zn, Cu, Pb, Cd) by populations of the mole (Talpa europaea L.) in a central urban area
TL;DR: A significant increase in Cd concentration with age was found in kidneys, liver, heart, lung, skin and femur, with the highest increase for kidney samples.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mammals as biological monitors of environmental metal levels.
TL;DR: A biological monitoring study should be designed to obtain and make use of the optimum amount of available information by complementing existing environmental studies, or through the simultaneous collection of other environmental data.
Book ChapterDOI
Aerial Heavy Metal Pollution and Terrestrial Ecosystems
TL;DR: There is a need for systematic studies of the mobility of groups of elements, including heavy metals and others, in ecosystems, which take account of the range of chemical species in which an element may exist.

Agronomic Controls Over the Environmental Cycling of Trace Elements
TL;DR: This chapter examines some developments that may point to the needs for improved agronomic management practices that could regulate the concentrations of trace elements in crop plants and current environmental problems involving specific trace elements.

Lead Accumulation in Roadside Soil and Grass
TL;DR: Studies on lead isotopes in samples of roadside soil and grass are reported, showing high concentrations of lead in vegetation near roads and grass and the ability to travel long distances and be washed out of the atmosphere in polar snows.

Lead poisoning in cattle and horses in the vicinity of a smelter.
P. B. Hammond,A. L. Aronson +1 more
TL;DR: This is a documentation of problems connected with an episode of lead poisoning, involving several farms in the immediate neighborhood of a lead smelter, to demonstrate to the reader that old problems in toxicology have limitless unexplored facets.
