title: Accumulation of heavy metals in animals. Part 3: Heavy metal contamination in small mammals at a waste disposal site.
abstract: Small mammals were captured at a waste disposal site; the kidneys of the animals were analysed for their content of lead, cadmium, copper and zinc. A control group was taken from the adjoining forest. Lead and copper clearly revealed higher values, no difference could be found for zinc, while the reverse was true for the cadmium content.
