Sažetak
Roe deer tissues (muscle, liver and kidney: 21 samples severally) collected (without regard to sex and age of donors) in the northern region of Croatia in the period 1990-1995 were analysed for cadmium. This toxic heavy metal occurred in low concentration in muscle tissue, although livers and especially kidneys were more heavily contaminated. Forty-three per cent of liver samples and 90% of kidney samples exceeded maximal permissible values and were unfit for human consumption. Concentrations in mg/kg on wet weight basis were: 0.003-0.065, 0.015-2.306 and 0.223-27.686 for muscle liver and kidney, respectively. The values obtained were compared with available literature data.
