Highlights

• Landfills are the chief form of solid waste and plant materials

• Atomic absorption spectrophotometer was used to identify heavy metals including cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), and lead (Pb) concentrations in the blood and feather samples Materials and Methods Study area and experimental design To study heavy metals accumulations in the Scavenger birds, blood and feather samples were collected from the vicinity of Lakhodair landfill Lahore and Mehmood Booti Lahore, Muhammadwala Faisalabad waste dumping sites (Fig. 1)

• Heavy metals Cd, Cr, Ni, and Pb concentration estimated in blood and feather samples of scavenger birds in the vicinity of Muhammadwala Faisalabad waste dumping site, Lakhodair landfill, and Mehmood Booti waste dumping site Lahore

Summary

Introduction

Landfills are the chief form of solid waste and plant materials. Decomposers complete concentration in many urban areas [1, 2]. Landfill sites often host feeding assemblies left by scavengers [4]. Comprising of the huge amount of Scavenger usually refers to a category of metallic birds of the comparatively small variety of species. Scavengers are animals that element and metalloids with an atomic concentration of more than 4g / cm or 5 consume dead organisms that are died due to times greater than water. Chemical properties of the heavy metals are Scavengers perform a vital part in the the most influencing factors compared to atmosphere by ingesting decomposed animal their density [5, 6]
