“…The mean Cd concentrations in the kidneys of pigeons, magpies and jays are as follows: 1.43; 0.310; 1.73 mg/kg w.w. The mean concentration of Cd in the pigeon¢s kidneys (1.43 mg/kg w.w.) is higher than the mean concentration of Cd in the pigeon¢s kidneys (0.279 mg/kg w.w.) measured in Bangladesh (Begum and Sehrin, 2013). Also it is lower than the mean concentration of 3.69 mg/kg w.w. in the kidneys of pigeons from central London (Hutton et al 1980).…”

The mining and burning of Croatian Raša coal had resulted in release of various contaminants into the local environment. They have remained in the local soil, water, and plants, and became available to animals through their consumption. In this study, tissue samples from a total of 12 birds from the Raša area and 8 birds from a control area were subjected to multi-element analysis (Al, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Mo, Cd, Pb) by ICP-MS. The obtained results showed increased Se and Cd concentrations in some bird tissue samples compared to the control area. The highest concentrations of Cu, Zn, and Se were found in the liver, while the highest concentrations of Cd and Pb were found in the kidneys. Although some hazardous trace elements were elevated in the tissues of game species, the risk of consuming meat and offal of such species has been found to be very low.

“…Jayakumar and Muralidharan [18] reported copper levels in a few aquatic birds in the range of 1.50 -9.77 µg/g ww in kidney tissues which showed no sign of toxicity. The study conducted in Rock Dove from Bangladesh documented 3.44 µg/g ww in muscle and 8.72 µg/g ww in kidney of [5]. Hence, the concentrations of copper recorded in all the 10 species of birds studied were less than levels capable of inducing any toxic effects.…”

With the aim, to assess the magnitude of elemental contamination in birds in select states in India, samples of bird tissues were analyzed for copper (Cu), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd) and chromium (Cr), with Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. Elements were detected in all the tissues and significant differences were noted in their concentrations among the species and tissues (P>0.05). Out of the 10 species analyzed, Bar – headed Goose and Red – wattled Lapwing accumulated the highest and Eurasian Collared – dove the lowest concentration of all the elements analyzed. Of all the tissues, kidney accumulated the maximum concentration of Pb (11.77 μg/g), Cd (17.06 μg/g) and Cr (16.08 μg/g). Apart from the organs studied, gut content also had notable levels of elements, which indicated the present contamination status of the environment. Nonetheless, the levels of most of the elements measured in the present study were considered non-toxic.

However, the higher Cd values were reported by Begum and Sehrin [56] while working on heavy metals in different parts, of pigeon included gizzards in Bangladesh. Additionally, the gizzard samples in our study research was determined Cd levels which are above the harmless limits fixed by standards recommended by FAO/WHO (0.5-1.0 mg/kg).…”

A research project was conducted to investigate the cadmium bioaccumulation in chickens fed. In this direction, cadmium concentration was determined in maize plant parts and in seven tissues of chickens to study the potential human risk of consumption of these chickens by finding out the cadmium target hazard quotient - THQ ([1). In addition, the pollution load index for soil was also determined. The concentration of cadmium in maize and chicken body parts was determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometer. During the spring, maximum cadmium level (01.60 � 0.47 mg / kg) was noticed in seeds of cultivar Sadaf irrigated with sewage and waste water. During autumn, the highest concentration of cadmium (0.99 � 0.04 mg / kg) was noticed in seeds of cultivar MMRI irrigated with sewage water. Results indicated that the transfer of cadmium into chickens via grains owes to the irrigated of these plants with waste water. Pollution load index - PLI values in canal and sewage water treatment were greater than 1.00, indicated that soil is polluted. The results were also debated and related with acceptable values to appraise whether this species pose any health risk to human after its consumption or not. Though the target hazard quotient values for the poultry edibles were less than 1.00, indicated that these parts even from the group of chickens reared on the sewage water treated grains were harmless for human health. But higher Cd concentration in the Gallus group reared on the seeds grown on waste water indicated the need of an ample investigation to combat the problems related to flow of toxic heavy metals in a food chain.
