Abstract
Some heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Cu, Zn, Fe and Mn) concentrations
were determined in water samples from El-Salam Canal and in
tissues (pectoral muscle, heart, liver and kidney) and feathers of
some resident wild birds (n=107) belonging to 8 different
species (Laughing dove, Egyptian barn swallow, House
sparrow, Great white egret, Spur-winged plover, Striated heron,
Squacco heron and Collared dove) from El-Salam Canal area. The best bird species and tissue can be used as a bio-indicator for heavy metal contamination was determined. Biochemical (ALT, AST, ALP, Total protein, Urea and Creatinine) analysis and histo-pathological examination were done to evaluate the toxic impact of the elevated heavy metal levels recorded in the examined birds.
