| Abstract: | This study was conducted to determine heavy metals concentrations in tissues of 94 birds belonging to different species from
coastal areas of Naples and Salerno (Southern Italy) in order to provide baseline data concerning trace element levels in
wild birds living in or close to an area characterized by high anthropogenic impact. Additional aim of this study was to verify
if diet influenced metal accumulation, so birds were classified as birds of prey, fish eating birds and insectivorous birds. |
