In the past 20 years, bat carcasses have been collected and conserved by deep-freezing. This was initiated by the environmental conservation agency in Lower Saxony (Federal Republic of Germany), now called Niedersächsisches Landesamt für Ökologie (NLÖ). For the first ti-me, a complete inventory of the available 458 bat carcasses from 13 different species were listed and registered in an ACCESS-data bank. A residue analysis was conducted on the Common pipistrelle (Pipistrellus pipistrellus) and the Greater-Mouse-Eared bat specimens (Myotis myotis), taking into account the physical condition and the sample scope, to determine the heavy metal contamination for the period 1987 to 1999. The lead content found in forarms of 111 Common pipistrelle and 30 Greater Mouse-Eared bats was determined. Heavy metal levels from the lung, liver and kidney tissue were taken from 22 P. pipistrellus . Sprache der Zusammenfassung: Englisch
