Biotransfer of heavy metals along a soil-plant-insect-chicken food chain: field study.

The accumulation and transfer of Pb, Zn, Cu, and Cd along a soil-plant-insect-chicken food chain at contaminated sites were investigated. The study site nearing the Pb/Zn mine had been contaminated by heavy metals severely. Cadmium and Pb concentrations steadily declined with increasing trophic level (p < 0.01), but concentrations of Zn and Cu slightly increased from plant to insect larva (p > ...
