Contaminants in the prey of the peregrine falcon in Canada / Alain Baril ... [et al.].: CW69-5/62E-PDF
"This report discusses contamination of the avian prey of the Peregrine Falcon in Canada and its significance for the recovery of the population. The contaminants of concern are the organochlorine compounds DDE, dieldrin, oxychlordane, heptachlor epoxide, alpha-HCH, mirex, hexachlorobenzene and PCBs, and mercury. The data reviewed were obtained for the main part from the National Registry of Toxic Chemical Residues of the Canadian Wildlife Service and were averaged by region (11 across the country) and by time period (1975-1979 and 1980-1985). More recent data were made available for prey collected in British Columbia, Alberta, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia"--Abstract, p. i.
