This study proposes a 2-step method using carcass data and population models. The method estimates percentage of deaths diagnosed as directly caused by lead poisoning as a lower bound and, as an upper bound, the percentage of possible deaths from sublethal lead poisoning that weakens...
The investigation showed that steel pellets ricochet more often than lead pellets, and furthermore that lead pellets disintegrate upon impact into tiny splash Download Full Study...

This research puts forward important conclusions about the average lead (Pb) concentration in terrestrial‐habitat game birds’ liver, an organ that is a good indicator of exposure to lead. Download Full Study...
This study on the link between lead in ammunition and condors mortality aims to show that lead is not the main cause. Even if lead is eliminated, the Condor cannot survive in the wild for other reasons, habitat is severely limited, food is severely limited...
This research aims at improving protection of human health and the environment from chemical risks and demonstrate safe use of lead in ammunition for workers, consumers. Environment. Download Document...
Lead is a natural environmental contaminant, but its use in the past in water pipes, paint and petrol increased its general presence. Food is the major source of human exposure to lead. The current study examined 144,206 analytical results for lead in food collected during...
Lead occurs primarily in the inorganic form in the environment. Human exposure is mainly via food and water, with some via air, dust and soil. The current study examined lead dietary exposure in average adult consumers, infants and children. Download Full Study Download Conclusions...
The investigation showed that the lead in the stop butt did not affect the surroundings, but that the high lead content of the soil would require that this be treated as waste if the facility was abandoned. Download Full Study...
