[On the heavy-metal-contamination of vension (author's transl)].
A survey is given on the heavy-metal-contamination of venison (total number of samples: 224) with special consideration of geographical and ecological aspects. In the liver of rabbits, and average of 0.55 ppm Hg and 1.10 ppm Pb was found, which was more than ten resp. three times the amount found in the livers of roe, red deer and wild boars. The mean Cd-content of wild-boars'-livers was 0.06 ppm, a value double as high as in rabbits, roes and red deer. The regional or ecological differences were of minor importance. Whereas the Hg- and Pb-values did not show any remarkable dependency on the animals' age, the Cd-values were higher in older animals. The Hg-values of the hair were in the range of 0.1 ppm.
