title: [Metal levels in various internal organs and muscles of young bulls].
abstract: The aim of the study was determination of the levels of lead, cadmium, copper, zinc and iron in certain internal organs and muscles of young bulls from the Cracow City Province and from farming regions. The content of these metals was determined in the kidneys, liver and longissimus++ dorsi muscle by atomic absorption spectrometry. The levels of lead and cadmium in the kidneys and liver of the bulls from the Cracow City region exceeded severalfold the content of these metals in the internal organs of the bulls from the farming region. In the meat of all bulls the levels of lead and cadmium were never above 0.1 mg/kg.
