Includes bibliographical references (p. 79-92). "This report reviews the literature on the use of wing parts for surveying toxic chemical residues. The possibility of using wing parts of harvested game birds, which are submitted as part of an annual survey, to monitor environmental residues is evaluated. The studies reviewed employed whole defeathered wings, wing muscles, wing bones and feathers as media for chemical analysis. The focus of attention has centered on persistent environmental residues (i.e. whole defeathered wings: organoehlorines, wing muscles: mercury, wing bones: Lead from spent shot, wing feathers: mercury). Other than studies of DDT residues in whole defeathered wings and lead residues in wing bones, little attention has been focused on the relationship of contaminants in the wing parts to other body tissues"--Abstract, p. i.
