Abstract
24Sep 2017 ASSESSMENT OF HEAVY METAL RESIDUES IN EXCRETA OF BLUE ROCK PIGEON IN JAIPUR, RAJASTHAN. Manju Bala , Asha Sharma and Gaurav Sharma.

Highlights
Concentrations of heavy metals recorded in the present studies suggested that birds are exposed to the high level of metal contamination in the environment which may have adverse effects on their health and Excreta can be used as non-invasive method for biomonitoring the metal level in wild bird
The present studies were designed in order to biomonitor concentration of heavy metals in the faecal matter of birds contributed by industrial environment and to discover if faecal matter can be used as non-invasive method to determine metal concentration in environment
Metals concentration in fecal matter:The elemental composition of excreta of Blue Rock Pigeon obtained from different industrial areas of Jaipur (Jhotwara, Malviya, Mansarover, Sitapura, Vishwakarma industrial areas and Sanganer industries) has shown the existence of six elements in total i.e. Cadmium (Cd), Chromium (Cr), Copper (Cu), Nickel (Ni), Lead (Pb), and Zinc (Zn) in present studies
