Wildlife study finds little contamination in Wisconsin game animals
A DNA wildlife disease specialist told the Natural Resources Board that most Wisconsin game species tested in a 1984 statewide survey showed no signs of PCBs pesticides or heavy metals. Edible meat. samples from deer ducks pheasants and prairie chickens were clean while trace contaminants appeared mainly in animals from industrial or contaminated waters. Mercury was detected in several species and most elevated levels were in mergansers. fat samples often show higher contamination than meat.
