## Abstract We evaluated the use of great tit (__Parus major__) feathers as biomonitors for heavyβmetal pollution and tested whether there were differences in metal levels in feathers as a function of location, age (first year or older), or gender. In 1998 and 1999, we collected the outermost tail
## Abstract The toxicologically relevant mercury species inorganic and organic Hg in blood are frequently determined by separate measurements of total Hg and of inorganic Hg, with their difference indicating organic Hg. It is shown that the different partition of inorganic and organic Hg between er
## Abstract A method is described to ensure quantitative measurement of dissolved mercury vapor (HgΒ°) in blood and urine. Room air passed through samples of blood and urine carries with it all the dissolved HgΒ° but leaves behind all the ionic mercury (Hg^++^). Oxidation of HgΒ° to Hg^++^ in blood sa
