Methods of analyzing feathers for elemental content / by W.J. Pannekoek, John P. Kelsall, and Roland Burton.: Fs97-7/498E-PDF

"Methods of analyzing waterfowl flight feathers, by atomic absorption-flame emission spectroscopy, were developed for a Canadian Wildlife Service study of their chemical composition. Some of the techniques are innovative or new and would be applicable to other biological materials of a keratinous nature. The report describes the methods in a "cook book" manner for use by minimally trained technicians. An original computer program for calculation of metal concentrations is included."--Abstract.
