摘要: To investigate great egret as a possible bioindicator of trace element contamination, the concentrations Br, Cd, Co, Cs, Cu, Fe, Hg, K, Mg, Mn, Na, Rb, Se and Zn were determined in livers egrets (Ardea alba) by methods Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis Atomic Absorption Spectrometry. It was observed that levels elements found their may indicate contamination studied region. Thus, this species can be considered suitable aquatic systems Sao Paulo Metropolitan Region.
