Lead concentration levels in skeletons of 57 individuals of 15 species of diurnal birds of prey and owls have been determined. The greatest mean concentration of lead in skeletons was exhibited by the Great Spotted Eagle Aquila clanga: 44.8 mg/kg (d.m.). In 23 individuals from 11 species the concentration of lead was determined at >10 mg/kg, which indicates elevated and potentially toxic, long-term exposure to lead over the lifetime of the bird. The highest percentage of individuals with lead levels of >10 mg/kg was established for: Great Spotted Eagle, Eurasian Buzzard Buteo buteo, Eurasian Marsh Harrier Circus aeruginosus and Rough-legged Buzzards Buteo lagopus. Raptors, who often use game animals as food resources show the highest determined lead concentration levels.

Zbadano poziomy stężeń ołowiu w szkieletach 57 osobników z 15 gatunków ptaków szponiastych i sów. Największe średnie stężenie ołowiu stwierdzono w kościach orlika grubodziobego Aquila clanga: 44,8 mg/kg (s.m.). W 23 osobnikach pochodzących z 11 gatunków stężenia ołowiu określono jako >10 mg/kg, co wskazuje na występowanie- podwyższonego, potencjalnie toksycznego długotrwałego narażenia na ołów. Największy procent osobników przekraczających ten poziom skażenia ołowiem (>10 mg/kg) stwierdzono w przypadku orlika grubodziobego Aquila clanga, myszołowa Buteo buteo, błotniaka stawowego Circus aeruginosus i myszołowa włochatego Buteo lagopus. Drapieżniki, wykorzystujące zwierzynę łowną jako źródło pokarmu, wykazywały największe poziomy stężeń ołowiu w kościach.
