Abstract (English): The concentration of heavy metals (Cr, Fe, Al, As, Cd, Cu, Pb, Mo, Ni, Se and Zn) was evaluated in the blood of nestling blue macaws (Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus) captured in the Pantanal, Mato Grosso do Sul (n=26) in 2012; this was based on the hypothesis that these birds exhibit levels of these heavy metals in their organism and that these interfere in hatching success, weight and age of the chicks. Blood samples were digested with nitric acid and hydrochloric acid and the quantification of metals was performed by ICP-OES (Optical Emission Spectroscopy and Inductively Coupled Plasma). Blood samples of nestlings showed concentrations of Cr (0.10µg/g) Fe (3.06µg/g) Al (3.46µg/g), Cd (0.25µg/g) Cu (0.74µg/g), Mo (0.33µg/g), Ni (0.61µg/g), Se (0.98µg/g), and Zn (2.08µg/g). The levels of heavy metals found were not associated with weight, age and hatching success of the chicks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Portuguese): Avaliou-se a concentração de metais pesados (selênio, zinco, ferro, cobre, molibdênio, níquel, cromo, arsênio, cádmio, chumbo e alumínio) no sangue de filhotes de arara-azul (Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus) capturados no Pantanal (n=26) no ano de 2012, partindo da hipótese de que estas aves apresentem níveis desses metais pesados no organismo e que os mesmos tenham relação com o sucesso de eclosão, peso e idade dos filhotes. As amostras de sangue foram digeridas em ácido nítrico e ácido clorídrico e a quantificação dos metais foi realizada por ICP-OES (Espectroscopia e Emissão Óptica por Plasma Indutivamente Acoplado). As amostras de sangue de filhotes de A.hyacinthinus apresentaram concentrações de Cr (0,10µg/g), Fe (3,06µg/g), Al (3,46µg/g), Cd (0,25µg/g), Cu (0,74µg/g), Mo (0,33µg/g), Ni (0,61µg/g), Se (0,98µg/g) e Zn (2,08µg/g). Os níveis de metais pesados encontrados não apresentaram relação com o peso, idade ou sucesso de eclosão. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
