Metal concentrations in the milk and tissues of a nursing Tursiops truncatus female
Mar Pollut Bull.

Abstract
Metal concentrations measured in the organs of beached whales are published regularly. Few of these, however, describe metal levels in nursing females. In the present study, mercury, lead, copper and zinc levels were measured in the milk and tissues of a female Bottlenose dolphin. Results reveal that metal pollutants pass from the tissue into the milk.
