TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the context for selenium risk assessment in the context of a global problem, which they call Selenium risk assessment (SRL) problem.

TL;DR: The first ever pan-European assessment of which raptor samples are collected across Europe and their suitability for biomonitoring is reported, finding that failed eggs and feathers are the most widely collected samples.

The persistent problem of lead poisoning in birds from ammunition and fishing tackle
Susan M. Haig,Jesse D'Elia,Collin A. Eagles-Smith,Jeanne M. Fair,Jennifer A. Gervais,Garth Herring,James W. Rivers,John Schulz +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore multiple paths taken to reduce Pb exposure in birds that recognize common ground among a range of affected interests; have been applied at local to national scales; and engage governmental agencies, interest groups and professional societies to communicate the impacts of Pb ammunition and fishing tackle, and to describe approaches for reducing their availability to birds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trace element concentrations (mercury, cadmium, copper, zinc, lead, aluminium, nickel, arsenic, and selenium) in some aquatic birds of the southwest Atlantic coast of France.
TL;DR: Female birds displayed higher concentrations in liver and feathers than did male birds, and Cd accumulation increased with age, whereas Pb levels in feathers were lower in adult birds in connection with moulting, as was influenced by sex.

Ecological Risk Assessment
TL;DR: Suter et al. as discussed by the authors defined the field of ecological risk assessment and proposed a set of assessment concepts, including exposure, organism level effects, population level effects and ecosystem level effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
The chronic toxicity of aluminium, cadmium, mercury, and lead in birds: a review.
TL;DR: It is concluded that significant physiological and biochemical responses to such exposure conditions occur at dietary metal concentrations insufficient to cause signs of overt toxicity, particularly important are reproductive effects which include decreased egg production, decreased hatchability, and increased hatchling mortality.

Embryonic mortality and abnormalities of aquatic birds: apparent impacts of selenium from irrigation drainwater
TL;DR: Severe reproductive impacts were found in aquatic birds nesting on irrigation drainwater ponds in the San Joaquin Valley of California, and aquatic birds may experience similar problems in other areas where selenium occurs at elevated levels.
