Título: | Tissues and hair residues and histopathology in wild rats (Rattus rattus L.) and Algerian mice (Mus spretus Lataste) from an abandoned mine area (Southeast Portugal) | Autor: | Pereira, R. Pereira, M. L. Ribeiro, R. Gonçalves, F. |
Palavras-chave: | Rodents; Heavy metals; Exposure assessment; Histopathological changes | Data: | 2006 | Citação: | Environmental Pollution. 139:3 (2006) 561-575 | Resumo: | Data gathered in this study suggested the exposure of rats and Algerian mice, living in an abandoned mining area, to a mixture of heavy metals. Although similar histopathological features were recorded in the liver and spleen of both species, the Algerian mouse has proved to be the strongest bioaccumulator species. Hair was considered to be a good biological material to monitor environmental contamination of Cr in rats. Significant positive associations were found between the levels of this element in hair/kidney (r = 0.826, n = 9, p < 0.01) and hair/liver (r = 0.697, n = 9, p = 0.037). Although no association was found between the levels of As recorded in the hair and in the organs, the levels of this element recorded in the hair, of both species, were significantly higher in animals captured in the mining area, which met the data from the organs analysed. Nevertheless, more studies will be needed to reduce uncertainty about cause-effect relationships. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/5353 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.envpol.2005.04.038 | Direitos: | openAccess |
