Bone, feathers, and liver were analyzed for lead in herring gull chicks (Larus argentatus) of two different ages. The highest levels were found in the bone, evidence of chronic exposure. No differences were found within the bones. Differences occurred between different bones, with the ribs having twice the amount of lead than any other bone. These studies indicate that type of bone affects lead levels; thus researchers should clearly state which parts of which bones are examined. It is also suggested that for humans consistent location should be used for analysis by in vivo X-ray fluorescence.
对两种不同年龄的银鸥幼鸟（Larus argentatus）的骨骼、羽毛和肝脏进行了铅含量分析。骨骼中的铅含量最高，这是慢性暴露的证据。骨骼内部未发现差异。不同骨骼之间存在差异，肋骨中的铅含量是其他任何骨骼的两倍。这些研究表明骨骼类型会影响铅含量；因此研究人员应明确说明检查的是哪些骨骼的哪些部位。还建议对人类进行体内X射线荧光分析时应使用一致的部位。
