“…We suggest that in order to effectively reduce the risk of Pb exposure in humans and poisoning in waterbirds, "protected wetland only" bans on Pb shot should be extended to adjacent feeding grounds. The fact that reasonably good ban compliance was obtained in protected areas within a short period, and, that hunting bag counts were apparently unaffected by a change to steel ammunition (Mateo et al, 2013), also supports the goal to extend the Pb ban to other ecologically important habitats.…”

“…However, this was not supported by our data as we found that the number of embedded pellets in mallards was similar in individuals shot with Pb only and in those shot with steel only. Moreover, the performance of steel shot appears to be entirely acceptable for waterfowl hunting, in as far as the number of harvested birds was similar before and after the Pb shot ban in the Ebro delta (Mateo et al, 2013). Likewise, the crippling rate found in the USA was only found to increase temporarily, during ban implementation (Schulz et al, 2009); and presumably, after this point, hunters had Means sharing a number do not differ significantly.…”

“…While the first articles regarding Pb poisoning in wild birds date back to the 19th century (Friend et al, 2009), it was not until the end of the 20th century that the use of Pb shot for waterfowl hunting was banned in several North American and European countries (Avery and Watson, 2009;Thomas and Guitart, 2010). In Spain, the use of Pb shot for hunting in wetlands was banned in protected areas in October 2001, but, in some wetlands (such as the Ebro delta) this ban was not fully implemented until the 2003-04 hunting season (Mateo et al, 2013).…”

“…Here, waterfowl hunting has taken place for over a century, resulting in Pb shot densities (in the upper 20 cm of sediment) of 97-266 shot/m 2 in wetland lagoons and 6-83 shot/m 2 in surrounding rice fields (Guitart et al, 1994;Mateo et al, 1997Mateo et al, , 2013. As a consequence, prevalence of Pb shot ingestion in this area has been very high.…”

The use of lead (Pb) ammunition in the form of shot pellets has been identified as a Pb exposure risk in wildlife and their human consumers. We explore the hypothesis that Pb shot ban enforcement reduces the risk of avian Pb poisoning as well as Pb exposure in game meat consumers. We assessed compliance with a partial ban on Pb shot commencing in 2003 by examination of 937 waterbirds harvested by hunters between 2007 and 2012 in the Ebro delta (Spain). Prevalence of Pb shot ingestion was determined, as were Pb concentrations in liver and muscle tissue to evaluate the potential for Pb exposure in game meat consumers. Hunted birds with only embedded Pb shot (no steel) declined from 26.9% in 2007-08 to b2% over the following three hunting seasons after ban reinforcement. Pb shot ingestion in mallards decreased from a pre-ban value of 30.2% to 15.5% in the post-ban period. Liver Pb levels were predominantly defined by the presence of ingested shot, whereas muscle levels were defined by the presence of both ingested and embedded shot. Only 2.5% of mallard muscle tissue had Pb levels above European Union regulations for meat (0.1 μg/g wet weight) in the 2008-09 season, when Pb shot ingestion prevalence was also at a minimum (5.1%). Effective restrictions in Pb ammunition use have a dual benefit since this reduces Pb exposure for game meat consumers due to embedded ammunition as well as reducing Pb poisoning in waterbirds.

“…En Mateo et al (2013) se presenta una revisión novedosa y relevante desde el punto de vista de la conexión entre gestión cinegética y conservación de la biodiversidad. Multitud de especies animales, particularmente aves, están expuestas a la contaminación por el plomo de la munición utilizada para cazar (plumbismo), desde las aves acuáticas pasando por las rapaces con hábitos carroñeros.…”

To maintain normal cellular and physiological function, sufficient oxygen is required. Recently, evidence has suggested that hypoxia, either pathological or environmental, may influence bone health. It appears that bone cells are distinctly responsive to hypoxic stimuli; for better or worse, this is still yet to be elucidated. Hypoxia has been shown to offer potentially therapeutic effects for bone by inducing an osteogenic-angiogenic response, although, others have noted excessive osteoclastic bone resorption instead. Much evidence suggests that the hypoxic-inducible pathway is integral in mediating the changes in bone metabolism. Furthermore, many factors associated with hypoxia including changes in energy metabolism, acid-base balance and the increased generation of reactive oxygen species, are known to influence bone metabolism. This review aims to examine some of the putative mechanisms responsible for hypoxic-induced alterations of bone metabolism, with regard to osteoclasts and osteoblasts, both positive and negative.
