Abstract

This study was focused on the monitoring of hematological parameters in the population of the snow vole Chionomys nivalis with regard to heavy metals pollution of the environment. We also tried to find differences in blood parameters of individuals based on age and sex. Samples were taken at Dolina Bielych plies, during sommer and autumn 2016.
