摘要: Determination of lead levels the blood, femur and kidney δ-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase activity red blood cells made with adult street pigeons (total 179) locations in both downtown suburban Tokyo demonstrated highly significant regional differences. It appears that are a handy sensitive indicator satunine pollution.
