Sažetak
Concentrations of lindane from adipose tissue i.e. omentum of sheep from homesteads of island Krk that were treated
with lindane, were compared with the concentrations of lindane measured in adipose tissue of non treated sheep from
husbandry cooperative on island Cres. Evaluation of food safety for this samples were estimated by comparing obtained
results and maximum tolerance concentration (MTC) for lindane (2.0 and 0.2 mg/kg). In treated lambs from Krk measured
concentrations of lindane were in range from 0.0038 to 1.8644 mg/kg, and in treated sheep from 0.0094 to 1.646
mg/kg. In control group of lambs and sheep concentration of lindane was 0.0051 mg/kg. Estimation of food safety based
on the results from this research are discussable, regarding the fact that MTC prescribed before year 2007 was 2.0 mg/kg.
When the new law Regulations of MTC for residues of pesticides in food and animal feed (NN 119/07) came into the force
prescribed MTC was 0.02 mg/kg. If food safety of sheep meat from Krk would be estimated based on latter, then 73.4% of
samples of lamb meat and 80% of sheep meat could be proclaimed unsafe for human consumption. It is encouraging that
after completion of using lindane in year 2005, levels of lindane in adipose tissue of lamb from Krk in year 2006 were under
the concentration set by new legislate (< 0.02 mg/kg).
