Resumo

O chumbo é um metal não essencial tóxico encontrado em diversas formas químicas, portanto, pode causar poluição atmosférica, terrestre e aquática. A principal fonte de chumbo se deve a ação antrópica, através da utilização de munições à base de chumbo, pesca, combustível, mineração, incineração de lixo e atividade industrial. O objetivo da presente revisão é demonstrar o conhecimento atual sobre as fontes de contaminação por chumbo, os sinais clínicos e lesões observadas em aves silvestres, diagnóstico e tratamento, impactos na biodiversidade e medidas de prevenção. Para a realização do estudo, foi utilizado pesquisa de artigos nas bases científicas PubMed, portal de periódicos CAPES, SciELO e Google Acadêmico, no recorte temporal de 2015 a 2020. A partir dos estudos elencados, observou-se que os animais são frequentemente encontrados com alterações subclínicas, clínicas ou mortos em seus habitats naturais. A literatura afirma que os efeitos do chumbo no organismo variam de acordo com a dose, tempo de exposição e via de intoxicação, logo, as consequências na saúde das aves silvestres são inúmeras. Concluiu-se que a substituição do chumbo por outros componentes, alterações em normativas e conscientização sobre seu descarte, resultam em ganhos na conservação da natureza e melhoria da biodiversidade.
