Studies were carried out to investigate possible contamination of pheasants with residues of lindane used as seed dressings for the control of wireworms in cereal crops. One group of laying hen pheasants was fed 20 mg of lindane-14C in gelatin capsules while another group was fed wheat seed treated with 100 ppm of lindane-14C for 15 days. Residues in eggs were monitored for about 70 days. Residues in chicks hatched from the eggs were also measured. Concentrations of residues in muscle, liver, brain, and fatty tissues were determined at various times. 14C-labeled residues in eggs increased sharply in the capsule treated group and reached an average maximum of about 19 ppm in 8 days. This level decreased to less than 0.5 ppm in about 50 days. Residues in eggs from the pheasants fed treated seed increased gradually to an average maximum of 17 ppm 22 days after commencement of the feeding program. This level decreased to less than 0.5 ppm 50 days later. Residues in hatched chicks were significantly lower than those in the eggs. Highest concentrations of residues were found in fatty tissues which decreased to non-detectable level in 6 months. Several chlorobenzene metabolites were identified in egg yolk and chick tissues. Chlorophenolic metabolites were indicated only in chicks.
开展了多项研究，以调查用作谷物作物防治金针虫种子处理剂的林丹残留可能对野鸡造成的污染情况。一组产蛋野鸡被喂食装在明胶胶囊中的20毫克林丹 - 14C，而另一组则被喂食用100 ppm林丹 - 14C处理过的小麦种子，为期15天。对鸡蛋中的残留情况进行了约70天的监测。还测量了从这些鸡蛋孵化出的雏鸡中的残留量。在不同时间测定了肌肉、肝脏、大脑和脂肪组织中的残留浓度。在胶囊处理组中，鸡蛋中的14C标记残留量在8天内急剧增加，平均最高达到约19 ppm。该水平在约50天内降至低于0.5 ppm。喂食处理过种子的野鸡所产鸡蛋中的残留量在喂食计划开始后22天逐渐增加至平均最高17 ppm。该水平在50天后降至低于0.5 ppm。孵化出的雏鸡中的残留量明显低于鸡蛋中的残留量。脂肪组织中的残留浓度最高，6个月后降至无法检测的水平。在蛋黄和雏鸡组织中鉴定出了几种氯苯代谢物。仅在雏鸡中检测到氯酚类代谢物。
