Partitioning of Cd and Pb in the blood of European blackbirds (Turdus merula) from a smelter contaminated site and use for biomonitoring

► The partitioning of Cd and Pb in the blood of European blackbird was studied. ► Cd and Pb are mainly bound to erythrocyte fraction versus plasma. ► Strong linear links between metal residues in erythrocyte and blood. ► Promising to optimize the use of small blood sample for wildlife health assessm...

Zusammenfassung:	► The partitioning of Cd and Pb in the blood of European blackbird was studied. ► Cd and Pb are mainly bound to erythrocyte fraction versus plasma. ► Strong linear links between metal residues in erythrocyte and blood. ► Promising to optimize the use of small blood sample for wildlife health assessment. Blood composition is commonly measured to assess exposure to and effects of metals on birds. In most of passerine species, only small volumes of blood may be sampled safely (
