- Abstract
The article presents a study of pulmonary histopathology in ring-billed gulls from colonies near steel mills and in rural areas. It has been suggested that adult birds might be sensitive monitors of environmental contamination by gases and airborne particulates at low concentrations. From the study, it appears that histopathologic changes in lung cells of ring-billed gulls might not be appropriate targets as biomarkers for exposure to air pollution possibly because exposure for two to three months does not result in lung pathology.
