Abstract
This paper presents the results of research on heavy metal load on the relation soil-plant-animal in the Central Bosnia Canton. This research included analysis of cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg) and iron (Fe) content in liver and kidney tissue of domestic lambs. From the areas of Kakanj nad Zenica eight and seven lambs were sacrificed from which liver and kidney samples were taken. Heavy metals concentration in samples was determined using the ICP-MS (Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry), in accordance with European standards (EN 13805:2002, IDT) and (EN 15763,2009, IDT). Mean Cd content in samples of liver tissue was 0.115 ppm in Kakanj municipality, and 0.261 ppm in Zenica municipality. Mean Cd content in samples of kidney tissue was 0.197 ppm in Kakanj municipality and 0.476 in Zenica municipality. Cadmium content was very variable in both regions. Cd content was below the upper limit of allowable quantity according to EU regulations. Determined amounts of iron in both regions were well below the upper limit of allowed quantities. In both regions mercury was not found.
