- Abstract
The article focuses on the use of lead-tissue levels in the European kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) in evaluating environmental contamination in different areas of southeastern Spain. It evaluates the consequences of leaded gasoline restrictions on environmental exposure to lead in the European kestrel sampled in the Mediterranean area of the region of Murcia, Spain far from potential sources of metal contamination. Liver, kidney, brain and bone samples from adult European kestrels were obtained over two periods, both before and after restrictions were placed on leaded fuel, 1995-97 and 2001, respectively.
