The aim of this study was to determine the level of Hg in the feathers of Prunella modularis from different habitats of the West Carpathians, Slovakia. No significant differences in the amount of mercury found in feathers was detected between spruce and dwarf pine habitats, and the level of Hg in the feathers also did not change with altitude. ER -
