摘要: ABSTRACT This study examined metal levels (especially U and Ni) in the tail tissues of water snakes from contaminated (Tim's Branch) reference areas on Department Energy's Savannah River Site (SRS). Home ranges were quantified to determine ratio habitat that they use relation better estimate exposure Compared conventional methods do not. The assessment indicated could expect at 3–4 orders magnitude greater than Agency for Toxic Substances Disease Registry's Minimum Risk Level (MRL) ingestion amphibians fish. Ni U, addition Se, Mn, Cu, related increased DNA double-strand breakage (DDSB) snakes. We report burdens each individually, but results DDSB these metals did not behave independently, as a suite. If we have secondary endpoint (DDSB), might assumed e...
