title: [Metals in muscles, liver and kidney of slaughtered animals from the northern region of Poland, 1985].
abstract: The content of cadmium, lead, copper, zinc, manganese and iron was determined in muscle tissue of 361 hogs, 59 cattle, 20 rabbits, 19 geese and 19 ducks, in the liver of 355 hogs and 55 cattle, and in the kidneys of 352 hogs and 56 cattle slaughtered in the northern region of Poland in 1985. The mean values obtained related to wet weight (mg/kg) for the muscle tissue of hogs, cattle, rabbits, geese and ducks were: 0.021, 0.018, 0.018, 0.033 and 0.024 Cd, 0.13, 0.12, 0.18, and 0.11 Pb; 0.69, 0.98, 0.97, 3.7 and 4.0 Cu; 20, 23, 18, 11 and 9.1 Zn; 0.11, 0.11, 0.15, 0.25 and 0.16 Mn, and 11, 22, 15, 30 and 26 Fe, respectively. In the liver of hogs and cattle the content was: 0.059 and 0.10 mg Cd/kg, 0.20 and 0.20 Pb, 5.8 and 15 Cu, 40 and 35 Zn, 1.2 and 1.5 Mn, and 64 and 53 Fe. Among all of the samples examined only in one case the tolerance limit for Pb was exceeded in the kidney of hogs, e.g. it was 1.1 mg/kg.
