| 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 |
| the effect of pest control on the incidence of trichinosis in virovitica-podravina county, croatia. | the aim of the study was to assess the role of pest control as a preventive measure in the control of trichinosis. the investigation was designed as a retrospective cohort study in the virovitica-podravina county. the incidence of trichinosis was determined according to the presence or absence of exposure to protective pest control measures. differences in the rate of trichinosis infection were determined by calculating relative risk (rr), i.e., the ratio of absolute risk in the two groups. in t ... | 2008 | 18644676 |
