There is a positive relationship between online and offline political activism for students who believe that social media is an appropriate …

Detection And Quantification Of Lead And Copper In Firearm Harvested Ground Venison Intended For Human Consumption, Chris Crown, Manori Perera Faculty Advisor, Given Harper Faculty Advisor

John Wesley Powell Student Research Conference

Most White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) in Illinois are harvested with firearms that use lead or copper shotgun slugs or muzzleloader bullets, which may fragment when they strike bone. Lead is a neurotoxin to both humans and animals that scavenge deer that have escaped from hunters, and excess amounts of copper ingestion can impair lipid and DNA function. In a preliminary study in 2014, packets of ground venison from firearm and bow hunters in Illinois were x-rayed, and six out of ten firearm-harvested packets contained possible metal fragments. The purpose of this study is to utilize Anodic Stripping Voltammetry …
