At a recent international conference held in Brussels (SETAC 2017) Richard Shore and Gloria Pereira, presented the work of the scheme.
SETAC is the pre-eminent meeting for European ecotoxicologists, giving them a chance to discuss their work with fellow scientisits as well as industry and regulatory representatives. We presented work on how a bird’s body condition can affect the amount of pollutants it accumulates, mercury contamination in a range of predatory birds and their eggs, and how we can us the post mortem information we gather to measure the health of raptor populations.
