Quecksilber in Federn des Sperbers(Accipiter nisus) aus dem Erzgebirge

Abstract: Mercury in the feathers of the Sparrowhawk (Accipiter nisus) from the Erz MountainsThe present paper examines the concentration of mercury in 48 moult-feathers (primaries and secondaries) of the Sparrowhawk from the Erzgebirge region (province of Saxony, Germany). The feathers were collected from 37 females between 1980 and 1998. Five feather-samples of museum-preparations, collected in the area of the federal state of Sachsen before 1930, serve to provide a comparison with times with a low Hg use. All samples… Show more

“…The temporary decline of whitetailed eagle, Eurasian sparrowhawk and osprey (Pandion haliaetus) as a result of biocides is comprehensively documented. Reference is made to work by Oehme (1987), Oehme and Manowsky (1991), Kenntner (2002), Helander et al (2002) on the white-tailed eagle; Bednarek et al (1975), Newton (1986), Gedeon and Oehme (1993), Weber et al (1997), Denker et al (2001) on Eurasian sparrowhawk and Wiemeyer et al (1988), Weber et al (2003) on the osprey. In comparison, species which hunt small mammals such as common kestrel (Falco tinnunculus), Montagu's harrier (Circus pygargus), red kite (Milvus milvus) and lesser spotted eagle (Aquila pomarina), are and were contaminated to a much lesser extent, biocide burdens being more than an order of magnitude smaller and thus uncritical (Conrad 1977;Ho¨lker 2002;Weber et al 1996Weber et al , 1998.…”

“…Wie schon bei den PCB‐Werten so lassen sich auch bei den DDT‐Werten die ermittelten Ergebnisse nur bedingt mit anderen Untersuchungen vergleichen, vielfach ist eine Umrechnung auf Trockengewicht nötig (Faktor 5). In Sperbereiern aus dem Erzgebirge, die 1989 – 1994 gesammelt wurden, stellten Weber et al (1997) p, p’‐DDE‐Werte fest, deren Mittelwert bei 40,13 ppm/Tr. lag.…”
