“…Total retention of plutonium in mice and rats ranged from 0.17% to 0.24% (Larsen et al 1981). Loss of deposited plutoniumfrom the liver was rapid (Taylor et al 1981(Taylor et al , 1983, and liver retentionin laboratorymice and rats was 0.036% and 0.54%, respectively (Larsenet al 1981). However,deer mice (Peromyscous maniculatus) and grasshopper mice (Onychomys leucogaster) retainedplutonium in the liver for prolonged periods (Taylor et al 1981(Taylor et al , 1993.…”

“…The majority of these studies have focused on Superfund sites (www.epa.gov/superfund), seasonal wetlands, landfills, mining operations, sludge disposal sites, or other sites that are all heavily contaminated. Several authors have documented the importance of small mammals as an intermediate step in the transfer of toxic contaminants to higher tropic levels, and hence important implications regarding the potential bioaccumulation of contaminants can be drawn from small mammal studies (Taylor et al, 1981;Anderson et al, 1982;Hunter et al, 1987;Brueske and Barrett, 1991;Brewer and Barrett, 1995;Kaplan et al, 1996;Laurinolli and Bendell-Young, 1996).…”

Mercury concentrations in liver and hair tissue were determined for five species of small mammals captured near Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. These data were then used to evaluate the suitability of using hair as a noninvasive technique for determining body burdens of mercury. A total of 104 small mammals were captured and analyzed; four main species were examined and included: Dipodomys merriami, Chaetodipus penicillatus, Peromyscus eremicus, and Neotoma lepida. Mean mercury concentrations were highest in N. lepida, followed by D. merriami, C. penicillatus, and P. eremicus respectively. Positive associations were found between hair and liver taken from D. merriami (r ¼ 0.647) and C. penicillatus

The characteristic properties of uptake and distribution of mercury in terrestrial ecosystems have received much lesser attention compared to aquatic particularly in Russia. Terrestrial ecosystems adjacent to large industrial manufactures-potential sources of mercury inflow into the environment frequently remain unstudied. This is the first report on mercury (Hg) levels in the basic elements of terrestrial ecosystems situated close to a large metallurgical complex.Mean values of mercury concentration (mg Hg/kg dry weight) in the vicinity of city of Cherepovets were the following: 0.056 ± 0.033-in the humus layer of soil; 0.556 ± 0.159-in earthworms; in the organs of voles Myodes glareolus (kidneys-0.021 ± 0.001; liver-0.014 ± 0.003; muscle-0.014 ± 0.001; brain-0.008 ± 0.002); in the organs of shrew Sorex araneus (kidneys-0.191 ± 0.016; liver-0.124 ± 0.011; muscle-0.108 ± 0.009; brain-0.065 ± 0.000). Correlation dependences between Hg content in soil and earthworms (r = 0.85, p< 0.01) as well as soil and all studied shrews' organs (rs = 0.44-0.58; p ≤ 0.01) were found.The results obtained evidence for a strong trophic link in the bioaccumulation of Hg in terrestrial food webs. Despite the vicinity to a large metallurgical complex, mercury content in the studied objects was significantly lower than values of corresponding parameters in the soils and biota from industrial (polluted) areas of Great Britain, the USA, and China.
