Lb. Best et Jp. Gionfriddo, INTEGRITY OF A CELLULOSE GRANULAR PESTICIDE CARRIER IN-HOUSE SPARROW GIZZARDS, Environmental toxicology and chemistry, 14(5), 1995, pp. 851-853
This study evaluated the integrity of a cellulose-complex granular pes
ticide carrier in gizzards of house sparrows (Passer domesticus). With
in 1 h after dosing, nearly all cellulose-complex granules had disappe
ared from the birds' gizzards. Cellulose granules remained intact for
14 d, however, in a hydrochloric acid solution without the mechanical
grinding of the gizzard.
