“…Some of the studies included in the bibliographic database measured the doserelated impacts of organochlorine pesticides such as aldrin and dieldrin on birds in closely controlled experimental settings. Respective concentrations of less than 8 or greater than 18 ppm wet weight for dieldrin were documented; however, these data contrast with experimental observations in Pheasants given capsules containing 0.5, 1.0, or 1.5 mg aldrin/week for seven weeks [22]. A related range of mostly lower concentrations of organochlorine residues representing "no adverse impact" tissue levels may also be discernable.…”

“…Hall et al [22] conducted an oral toxicity study in which pheasants received three levels of encapsulated aldrin on a weekly basis for 6 weeks. Observed effects included diminished growth and survival in pheasants exposed to the higher levels of aldrin.…”

“…The endpoint chosen as the basis of the aldrin TRV for avian species was decreased growth seen in pheasants fed encapsulated aldrin [22]. A lower growth rate can have ecologically relevant effects on birds because fledglings with greater mass have a higher probability of recruiting into the breeding population [29].…”

“…A lower growth rate can have ecologically relevant effects on birds because fledglings with greater mass have a higher probability of recruiting into the breeding population [29]. Since only one study [22] was located that characterized aldrin oral toxicity in birds, and that study was of subchronic duration, the TRV was derived using the approximation approach (Table 21.4). An uncertainty factor of 10 was used to obtain the NOAEL-based TRV from the subchronic NOAEL (0.07 mg/kg/day), and an uncertainty factor of 4 was used to derive the LOAEL-based TRV from the subchronic LOAEL (0.14 mg/kg/day).…”

“…Early studies used feathers to determine the concentration of PHCs in several bird species treated with certain doses of these pollutants. − In 2005, Dauwe et al conducted a pilot study on the Great Tit ( Parus major ) in order to evaluate the usefulness of feathers as a biomonitoring tool for organic pollutants by analyzing fat tissue in order to check whether feathers reflected levels in internal tissues. Jaspers et al conducted the first study on levels of organic compounds in the feathers of a predatory bird, the Common Buzzard ( Buteo buteo ).…”

Feathers have many advantages that make them an excellent nondestructive tool for monitoring polyhalogenated compounds (PHCs). This paper proposes a review on the PHCs in feathers and factors influencing the pollutant load. Special attention has given to external contamination and the main analytical methods used to detect these compounds in feathers. Some authors have found strong and significant correlations between the concentrations of PHCs in feathers and internal tissues, providing positive expectations for their future use in the field of ecotoxicology. However, changes in diet, time elapsed between the previous molt period and sampling, sample size, and/or external contamination have been suggested as possible causes to explain the lack of correlations reported in some studies. Further studies with newly grown feathers and blood samples would be required in order to clarify this issue. Although atmospheric deposition has been reported as cause of external contamination, preening oil seems to be the most relevant factor contributing to this process. Unfortunately, washing techniques tested to date are not able to effectively remove the surface contamination from barbs and shafts, and therefore, it is necessary to develop methods able to discriminate between internal and external contamination. Finally, in this review, deposition rate is proposed as a measurement unit, as this allows comparisons between different parts of the same feather, as well as between different feathers.

Pathways analysis method for estimating water and sediment criteria at hazardous waste sites

A model was developed to estimate surface water and sediment criteria for the protection of animal populations and ecosystems at a hazardous waste site where the major contaminants of concern to wildlife populations included persistent, bioaccumulative chemicals. The model evaluates potential exposure pathways for a site and estimates acceptable concentrations in abiotic media for each exposure pathway. To estimate criteria based on food web exposure, the model utilizes a site‐specific food web and addresses bioaccumulation in multiple food chains that terminate in a high‐trophic‐level species. The input data for the food web were obtained from on‐site sampling as well as from literature sources. The pathways analysis model can be applied to other hazardous waste sites by selecting appropriate species and chemical specific input parameters to include in the model. Estimated criteria can be compared to on‐site analytical data to evaluate risk to wildlife populations.
