Domain-specific¶
- Kranzberg's first law
- Diffusing through aquatic food chains and bioaccumulating in the 1960s, it thinned the eggshells of raptors such as the bald eagle and peregrine falcon — a harm that Rachel Carson's Silent Spring (1962) publicized in general terms, while the residue-to-shell-thinning link itself was established only later in the 1960s — leading to the 1972 US ban.
This sourceLate-1960s evidence that eggshell thickness in US raptorial and fish-eating birds fell by 19 percent or more, herring-gull shells being thinner where chlorinated-hydrocarbon residues were higher.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This work's DOI is recorded above but has not been resolved against an external catalogue, so nothing here confirms the work exists.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
