Limited data are available on mirex worldwide except in the United States. The levels of mirex found in birds that were collected in the United States, except of those from the southeastern United States and the Great Lakes, were low and were considered nonhazardous in the 1970s (Cain Bunck, 1983). White (1979) investigated the wings of mallards and American black ducks (Anas rubripes) that were collected from four major flight pathways between 1976 and 1977 (Eisler, 1985 and the references therein). The results showed that Atlantic mallards had the highest detection frequencies of occurrence at 50% and the highest concentration of mirex (0.14 pg g-1 wet wt.). They were followed by Mississippi mallards at 29% and 0.03 pg g-1 wet wt., Central mallards at 14% and 0.06 pg g-1 wet wt., and Pacific mallards at 4% and 0.03 pg g-1 wet wt. (Eisler, 1985).
