Blood lead levels of wild raccoons (Procyon lotor) from the eastern United States

AN Hamir, DT Galligan, Ebel JG Jr, KL Manzell, and CE Rupprecht


ABSTRACT

We analyzed 161 raccoon (Procyon lotor) blood samples obtained from New Jersey (n = 109), rural Pennsylvania (n = 29) and laboratory confined animals (n = 23) in the USA for lead content; we found significantly higher levels in the New Jersey raccoons (mean = 4.4 micrograms/dl, SE = 2.9). There was no difference between the lead levels of raccoons from the other two groups (mean = 2.6, SE = 0.5 and mean = 2.5, SE = 0, respectively).
