Residues of Organochlorine Pesticides in the Feathers of Oriental White Stork and Siberian White Crane

  • We collected 51 feather samples from the breasts, tails and wings of Oriental White Storks(Ciconia boyciana)and Siberian White Cranes(Grus leucogeranus)at Hefei Wild Animal Park in May, 2007. Environment-Determination of methylmercury-Gas chromatography was used to determine the residues of op’-DDT,pp’-DDD,pp’-DDE,pp’-DDT,α-BHC,β- BHC,γ- BHC,δ- BHC and Hexachlorobenzene. The results showed that pp’-DDD,pp’-DDE,pp’-DDT,β-BHC, δ-BHC were detected in feathers of both Oriental White Storks and Siberian White Cranes,in which pp’-DDD had the greatest proportion,and reached 0.8936,0.8353 and 0.7516 μg/g (dry weight) respectively in the breast contour feathers,pluma and tail feathers of Oriental White Storks. The residues were 0.5685,0.5077 and 0.4657 μg/g (dry weight) in the feathers of Siberian White Cranes. There was not a significant difference in the residues of pp’-DDD and pp’-DDT in the breast contour feathers,pluma and tail feathers between both birds,but residues of pp’-DDD in the breast contour feathers and tail feathers of the Oriental White Stork was significantly higher than that of the Siberian White Crane.
