Lead Poisoning. THE BACKGROUND Shotgun cartridges used for hunting ducks and geese each contain about 280 pellets, weighing about 30-35 grams in all. A hunter fires an average of three to six cartridges for every bird that is hit. Only a few of the pellets actually hit the bird. The rest fall to the ground or into the water. Thus, thousands of tonnes of lead are deposited in the environment each year. In Canada, for example, where the scale of this problem was researched in detail, the lead deposition was estimated to be 2000 tonnes per year before lead shot was banned in 1991. Pellet densities in heavily hunted lakes and marshes were recorded to be as high as 200 pellets per square meter. It is estimated that these numbers are no less high in other countries worldwide. In France, for example, the annual deposition is estimated to be as high as 6250 tonnes per year, and in Spain it is around 5000 tonnes per year. As a rule of thumb, the annual lead deposition per hunter is somewhere between two and five kilograms1. It takes tens to hundreds of years before lead pellets dissolve into the water. Also, wetland bottoms are often too compact for pellets to sink into the sediment. Therefore, the vast majority of spent lead shot remains accessible to waterbirds for a considerable amount of time. Waterbirds deliberately pick these pellets up from the bottom and swallow them, mistaking them for food items or grit, which is retained in the muscular waterbird stomach (gizzard) to facilitate the grinding of the food. The grinding action of the gizzard, combined with the acidic stomach fluids, causes the pellets to dissolve easily. Ionic lead is then released and enters the blood stream through the wall of the intestine. Lead is a highly poisonous metal. Impeding the production of haemoglobin, the blood protein responsible for oxygen transportation, it causes severe anaemia. In addition, it affects the nervous and circulatory systems, liver and kidneys. Birds that ingest ten or more lead pellets will die of acute lead poisoning within a few days. If a smaller number (two to ten) is ingested, the ordeal will take much longer. Birds will gradually start to show signs of chronic lead poisoning, such as drooping wings, green and watery faeces, weight loss and atypical behaviour. This influences their ability to forage and to escape from predators. Victims of chronic lead poisoning usually die within two to three weeks. If a bird swallows only one pellet, it usually survives, although its ...
