The concentration of arsenic and 11 metals (Al, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn) was measured in feathers and regurgitated pellets collected at both sites. Cadmium, chromium, mercury, nickel, and lead were at least twofold higher in feathers of birds from the contaminated site than in the reference site, suggesting that this population was exposed to higher metal levels. Similarly, levels of aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, cobalt, chromium, iron, and lead were also at least twofold higher in pellets from the contaminated area. The obtained results suggested that the impacted population of Merops apiaster is at risk due to the exposure to some metals. | Descripción: | 9 páginas, 1 figura, 1 tabla. | Versión del editor: | http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10661-008-0741-4 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/43571 | DOI: | 10.1007/s10661-008-0741-4 | ISSN: | 0167-6369 | E-ISSN: | 1573-2959 |
