Copper concentrations in sheep liver and kidney in Greece.
Copper liver and kidney concentrations were evaluated from sheep grazing at 2 areas: A (sampling points A1, A2, A3) and B. One hundred forty specimens were measured by flame atomic absorption spectroscopy after wet digestion for the February through April 1995 sampling period. Mean liver concentrations were: Area A (A1 = 99.48, A2 = 62.28, A3 = 23.02 mg/kg ww) and Area B 74.07 mg/kg ww. Copper concentrations in kidneys from all areas were in the normal range.
