Metals and selenium in sand Martin's plumage

Feathers were collected from Sand Martins, and levels of heavy metals and selenium were determined. The analytical procedures used are described. No trace-element concentrations were found at toxic levels. Positive correlations were noted between manganese and cadmium, strontium and Se, and Cd and z...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Feathers were collected from Sand Martins, and levels of heavy metals and selenium were determined. The analytical procedures used are described. No trace-element concentrations were found at toxic levels. Positive correlations were noted between manganese and cadmium, strontium and Se, and Cd and zinc in adult birds. In the case of most elements, concentrations increased with age.
