铅浓度进行了测量，从37个果蝠从布里斯班地区和5蝙蝠从非城市地区的组织。根据每克肾脏25微克和每克肝脏10微克的毒性水平，11只布里斯班蝙蝠的浓度与毒性一致。其他布里斯班蝙蝠的骨骼和牙齿中的铅浓度非常高。非城市蝙蝠体内的铅浓度非常低。皮毛中的铅浓度是可变的，但与骨骼和牙齿中的浓度高度相关，反映了长期暴露于铅。从毛皮洗涤液中回收了高浓度的铅，这与肾脏和肝脏中的浓度高度相关，反映了最近和持续的铅暴露。铅的来源没有得到证实，但大气是可能的来源。测量毛皮及其洗涤液中的铅浓度似乎可以提供一种长期和短期监测果蝠组织中铅积累的方法。这种测量在监测环境中铅暴露方面可能很有价值。
Lead concentrations were measured in tissues from 37 fruit bats from the Brisbane area and 5 bats from non-urban areas. On the basis of toxicity levels of 25 mug per g of kidney and 10 mug per g of liver, 11 of the Brisbane bats had concentrations consistent with toxicity. Other Brisbane bats had very high lead concentrations in bone and teeth. The lead concentrations in the non-urban bats were very low. Lead concentrations in the fur were variable but were highly correlated with concentrations in bones and teeth, reflecting long-term exposure to lead. High concentrations of lead were recovered from fur washings, which correlated very highly with the concentrations in kidney and liver, reflecting more recent and continuing exposure to lead. The source of the lead was not verified but the atmosphere was the probable source. Measurement of lead concentrations in the fur and its washings would appear to provide a means of monitoring lead accumulation in the tissues of fruit bats over both the long and short term. Such measurements could be valuable in monitoring environmental exposure to lead.
