Abstract
HEEP COPYRIGHT: BIOL ABS. Berries, leaves and stems of 3 shrubs (Vaccinium myrtilloides, V. vitis-idaea and Arctostaphylos uva-ursi) have higher concentrations of As, Se, Hg, Pb, Cu, Fe and Zn near a smelter operation than farther away. The toxicological implications for wild herbivores of such heavy metal contamination are difficult to determine because of interactions among these metals. As, Se and Pb analyses carried out independently on the same samples were not significantly different.
