Book Description
"During 1989-1992, Canadian wildlife Service (Ontario) collected a total of 1495 eggs from fish-eating colonial birds from 50 colonies throughout the Great Lakes to measure the levels of 86 chlorinated hydrocarbon compounds, and the lipid concentrations present. These data were generated as part of a monitoring program started in 1970 to understand the temporal and spatial trends in environmental contaminant levels in biota of the Great Lakes"--Executive summary.

Mammals and Birds as Bioindicators of Trace Element Contaminations in Terrestrial Environments
Author: Elżbieta Kalisińska
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3030001210
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 708
Book Description
The population explosion that began in the 1960s has been accompanied by a decrease in the quality of the natural environment, e.g. pollution of the air, water and soil with essential and toxic trace elements. Numerous poisonings of people and animals with highly toxic anthropogenic Hg and Cd in the 20th century prompted the creation of the abiotic environment, mainly in developed countries. However, the system is insufficient for long-term exposure to low concentrations of various substances that are mainly ingested through food and water. This problem could be addressed by the monitoring of sentinels – organisms that accumulate trace elements and as such reflect the rate and degree of environmental pollution. Usually these are long-lived vertebrates – herbivorous, omnivorous and carnivorous birds and mammals, especially game species. This book describes the responses of the sentinels most commonly used in ecotoxicological studies to 17 trace elements.
