| bioaccessibility tests accurately estimate bioavailability of lead to quail. | hazards of soil-borne lead (pb) to wild birds may be more accurately quantified if the bioavailability of that pb is known. to better understand the bioavailability of pb to birds, the authors measured blood pb concentrations in japanese quail (coturnix japonica) fed diets containing pb-contaminated soils. relative bioavailabilities were expressed by comparison with blood pb concentrations in quail fed a pb acetate reference diet. diets containing soil from 5 pb-contaminated superfund sites had ... | 2016 | 26876015 |
