Surveys of waterfowl eggs collected in 1977-78 showed that toxaphene was detectable in several species, especially in mergansers (Mergus senator), although levels were lower than PCBs by a factor of ten or more [120]. Ohlen-dorf et al. [121] included herons (Ardeo herodia) from Lake St. Clair in a sur-... [Pg.240]

Some birds may not die immediately after drinking lethal cyanide solutions. Sodium cyanide rapidly forms free cyanide in the avian digestive tract (pH 1.3-6.5), whereas formation of free cyanide from metal cyanide complexes is comparatively slow. A high rate of cyanide absorption is critical to acute toxicity, and absorption may be retarded by the lower dissociation rates of metal-cyanide complexes. In Arizona, a red-breasted merganser (Mergus senator) was found dead 20 km from the nearest known source of cyanide, and its pectoral muscle tissue tested positive for cyanide. A proposed mechanism to account for this phenomenon involves weak-acid dissociable (WAD) cyanide compounds. Cyanide bound to certain metals, usually copper, is dissociable in weak acids such as stomach acids. It has been suggested that drinking of lethal cyanide solutions by animals may not result in immediate death if the cyanide level is... [Pg.221]
