Summary

Description
English: Contents of a hunting cartridge ; Lead is a particularly soft metal (same as is the case here when it is hardened by adding arsenic or antimony). It is easily eroded and oxidized, and it becomes more toxic and contaminant in acid environment. This explains why in the gizzard of birds, ground between stones ingested by the bird in the gizzard, the lead shot ingested by birds are rapidly eroded. The lead can then pass into the blood and poison the body. 12 lead pellets hunting cartridge ingested enough to fatally poison a swan adult bird (by "avian lead poisoning").
Français : Contenu d'une cartouche de chasse  ; Le plomb est un métal particulièrement mou (même comme c'est le cas ici quand il est durci par ajout d'arsenic ou antimoine). Il s'érode et s'oxyde facilement, et en milieu acide il devient plus contaminant pour l'environnement. Ceci explique que dans le gésier des oiseaux, broyés entre les cailloux ingérés par l'oiseau, dans le gésier, les billes de plomb avalées par les oiseaux sont rapidement érodées. Le plomb peut alors passer dans le sang et intoxiquer l'organisme. 12 billes de plomb de cartouche de chasse ingérées suffisent à mortellement empoisonner un cygne adulte par saturnisme aviaire.
Deutsch: Inhalt einer Schrotpatrone für die Jagd. Blei ist ein eher weiches Metall, auch wenn es hier typisch zur Härtung mit Arsen oder Antimon legiert wird. Blei(legierung) oxidiert und erodiert, stärker in saurer Umgebung. Im Muskelmagen von Vögeln werden Bleikugeln von Steinchen gemahlen und entwickeln so stärkere Giftwirkung. Ein Dutzend Schrotkugeln können so einen erwachsenen Schwan töten.
