Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Cadmium, lead, and mercury concentrations were determined in roe deer and wild boar tissues (muscle, liver, kidney) of three different age groups from lowland Croatia. Cd concentrations in the examined tissues increased with age in both species, being the highest in the kidney, and higher in roe deer as compared to wild boar. Pb concentration was higher in younger animals in comparison with both older groups. Contrary to the expectations, roe deer tissues revealed mostly higher Pb concentrations than those of wild boar. Hg concentration in the tissues of the animals examined was relatively low and no correlation with age was found. However, Hg concentration was higher in kidneys than in livers and in wild boar than in roe deer. Muscle samples from roe deer and wild boar were edible as Cd and Pb concentrations did not exceed the values prescribed by the official regulations. However, Cd concentrations in liver exceeded the prescribed values in one fifth of all samples while Pb concentrations were lower than the allowed concentrations. Most kidney samples from both animal species contained Cd exceeding the recommended concentrations, while Pb concentrations in all samples did not exceed the official value regulation. Hg concentrations are no longer (since 2008) a matter of legislation.
