Abstract

Introduction Aquatic environments accumulate pollutants from run of and atmospheric deposition. While aquatic habitats are dynamic, they have a limited capacity to accept man-made waste without adverse effects on biota. With further technology advancement and the increased development of industries, the volume of waste imported into water areas will likely increase. Heavy metals are pollutants of concern due to their toxicity, persistence, and accumulation in the tissues of living organisms. Birds are well suited for biomonitoring because their biology is well-known, they have a relatively long lifespan (up to a dozen or more years), and they feed on different levels of the food chain, depending on the species. Birds are therefore one of the best indicators for evaluating heavy metals in the environment
