Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Lead is a particularly soft metal (same as is the case here when it is hardened by adding arsenic or antimony). It is easily eroded and oxidized, and it becomes more toxic and contaminant in acid environment. This explains why in the gizzard of birds, ground between stones ingested by the bird in the gizzard, the lead shot ingested by birds are rapidly eroded. The lead can then pass into the blood and poison the body. 12 lead pellets hunting cartridge ingested enough to fatally poison a swan adult bird (by "avian lead poisoning").
Français : Le plomb est un métal particulièrement mou (même comme c'est le cas ici quand il est durci par ajout d'arsenic ou antimoine). Il s'érode et s'oxyde facilement, et en milieu acide il devient plus contaminant pour l'environnement. Ceci explique que dans le gésier et l'estomac des oiseaux, broyés entre les petits cailloux (dits gritt) ingérés par l'oiseau, les billes de plomb avalées avec la nourriture ou confondus avec le gritt sont rapidement érodées. Le plomb passe alors dans le sang et intoxique l'animal. 12 billes de plomb de cartouche de chasse ingérés suffisent à mortellement empoisonner un cygne adulte par saturnisme aviaire.
