Abstract

To wildlife irreplaceable damage is caused by such agricultural chemicals as pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, etc., and the most dangerous one DDT and its analogue DDE. They are particularly dangerous for birds which cause of their mobility and feeding from soil and water are victims of pollution According to Fisinin et al. (1990) DDE available in foods (75 ppm) decreases thickness of laid eggs by 20 %. These data are confirmed by Kiff (1991) reviewed the investigations in different areas. Thus, nature and level of soil and water pollution can be estimated by measuring thickness and weight of eggshells of birds inhabiting this territory. When measuring eggs they should be intact.
