本研究对两种猛禽——普通秃鹰（Buteo Buteo）和小猫头鹰（Athene noctua）——的肝脏、肾脏、胸肌、胸骨和羽毛进行了铅和镉浓度的研究。收集到的所有鸟类均死于Sala Baganza （Parma, Italy）的Lega Italiana， Protezione Uccelli的Centro Recupero Rapaci。他们在1998年11月至1999年11月期间活着抵达中心，但由于受伤或其他疾病而死亡或被处死。调查结果并没有显示过量接触镉，而在铅的情况下出现了一些有趣的数据。后者在两只小猫头鹰的肝脏和骨头中的浓度似乎表明长期接触的可能性。另一方面，在一只普通秃鹰身上发现的高值表明是急性接触，可能是铅中毒。(C) 2004爱思唯尔公司版权所有。
In this study, two raptor species, the common buzzard (Buteo buteo) and the little owl (Athene noctua), were investigated for lead and cadmium concentrations, using liver, kidneys, pectoral muscle, sternum bone, and feathers. All the collected birds died at the Centro Recupero Rapaci of Lega Italiana, Protezione Uccelli in Sala Baganza (Parma, Italy). They arrived alive at the Centro between November 1998 and November 1999 but died or were put to death as a consequence of injuries or other ailments. The results of the investigation do not show an excessive exposure to cadmium, whereas some interesting data have emerged in the case of lead. The concentration of the latter in the liver and in the bone of two little owls seem to suggest the possibility of chronic exposure. The high values found in one common buzzard, on the other hand, suggest an acute exposure and, probably, a case of lead shot ingestion. (C) 2004 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
