DDT vs. wildlife: Relationships between quantities ingested, toxic effects and tissue storage DDT vs. wildlife: Relationships between quantities ingested, toxic effects and tissue storage
Young and adult quail and pheasants were fed diets containing DDT. Chemical analysis of tissues indicated that quantities of DDT stored were not proportional to total amounts administered nor to duration of exposure, but were related to the severity of toxic symptoms. Concentration of the toxicant in breast muscle of birds dying of acute DDT poisoning was approximately 34 jug./ Gm.in...

Pesticide toxicity, effects of chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticides upon quail and pheasants Pesticide toxicity, effects of chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticides upon quail and pheasants
Previous studies had shown that heavy or repeated applications of DDT resulted in decreases.in bird populations, but long-range effects of this and other chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticides had not been fully evaluated. Experiments were conducted to determine toxiCitY to quail and pheasants of aldrin, dieldrin, endrin, and strobane, and to determine effects of these compounds upon...
