| wild boar tissue levels of cadmium, lead and mercury in seven regions of continental croatia. | concentrations of cadmium, mercury and lead were analysed by atomic absorption spectrometry in the kidney and muscle of free-living wild boar (n = 169) from hunting grounds in seven counties of continental croatia. mean levels of metals (mg/kg) in muscle and kidney of boars ranged as follows: cd: 0.005-0.016 and 0.866-4.58, pb: 0.033-0.15 and 0.036-0.441, hg: 0.004-0.012 and 0.04-0.152. in all seven regions, concentrations exceeded the permitted values (muscle and kidney mg/kg: cadmium 0.05/1; l ... | 2010 | 20405101 |
