Abstract

Trace elements (including heavy metals) can negatively affect the environment and the health of living beings. Biomonitoring is a transdisciplinary tool to evaluate this pollution type and its respective consequences in ecosystems, food chains and webs. This review uses systematic methods to identify published literature on biomonitoring of heavy metal(loid)s using wild mammals on the Iberian Peninsula. A total of 30 different mammalian species (30/141) were included in 62 Iberian biomonitoring studies; 22 species from terrestrial habitats and 8 from aquatic habitats. Carnivores (including piscivores) are the most represented in both habitat types (7/22 in terrestrial; 8/8 in aquatic). Most studies used more than one tissue (2.8±1.3), with a preference for the liver and kidney. Cd was the most determined metal, measured in 45% of the biomonitoring studies analysed, highlighting its potential health impact on mammals. Further research is crucial to provide more information on mammalian species' susceptibility to this One Health problem; and to cover more habitats, trophic chains, and/or geographical areas.

伊比利亚半岛野生哺乳动物重金属和类金属的生物监测:系统综述

微量元素(包括重金属)会对环境和生物健康产生负面影响。生物监测是一种跨学科的工具，用于评估这种污染类型及其在生态系统、食物链和网络中的各自后果。本文采用系统的方法对伊比利亚半岛野生哺乳动物重金属生物监测的相关文献进行了综述。62项伊比利亚生物监测研究共纳入30种不同的哺乳动物(30/141);22种来自陆生生境，8种来自水生生境。食肉动物(包括鱼食动物)在这两种生境类型中都是最具代表性的(7/22为陆生动物;8/8在水生)。大多数研究使用多个组织(2.8±1.3)，首选肝脏和肾脏。在所分析的生物监测研究中，有45%测量到了镉，这是最确定的金属，突出显示了镉对哺乳动物健康的潜在影响。进一步的研究对于提供更多关于哺乳动物物种对“同一个健康”问题的易感性的信息至关重要;并覆盖更多的栖息地、营养链和/或地理区域。

期刊介绍： Published since 1993, Environmental Reviews is a quarterly journal that presents authoritative literature reviews on a wide range of environmental science and associated environmental studies topics, with emphasis on the effects on and response of both natural and manmade ecosystems to anthropogenic stress. The authorship and scope are international, with critical literature reviews submitted and invited on such topics as sustainability, water supply management, climate change, harvesting impacts, acid rain, pesticide use, lake acidification, air and marine pollution, oil and gas development, biological control, food chain biomagnification, rehabilitation of polluted aquatic systems, erosion, forestry, bio-indicators of environmental stress, conservation of biodiversity, and many other environmental issues.
