Article Synopsis
- The study investigates heavy metal concentrations (As, Cd, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mn, Pb, Zn) in various tissues of wild birds in Hatay province, Turkey, focusing on the potential toxicity of excess metals.
- Results show Fe had the highest concentration, while Hg had the lowest; some metals were below toxic thresholds, but Mn was close to its limit.
- The findings highlight the importance of monitoring contaminants in wildlife to prevent toxic stress and understand biomagnification trends.
