Lead concentrations and reproduction in highway-nesting barn swallows

Etude de la dose de plomb trouvee dans la carcasse et l'estomac d'adultes et de jeunes Hirundo rustica captures pres d'une autoroute du Maryland. La contamination de cet habitat par les emissions des voitures n'est pas un danger serieux pour les oiseaux se nourrissant en vol
