Abstract

The aim of this study was to measure the concentrations of As, Cd, Hg, Pb, Cr, Cu, Fe and Zn in the muscle, liver and kidney of wild boar (Sus scrofa) in Papuk Nature Park, Eastern Croatia. Muscles, liver and kidney of 38 wild boars, up to 3 years of age, were collected and the concentrations of elements were determined by ICP-MS. Cadmium exceeded the permitted levels acceptable for human consumption in 50% of kidney samples (max. = 6.64 mg kg^-1), 20% of liver samples (max. = 4.60 mg kg^-1) and 43% of muscle samples (max. = 0.672 mg kg^-1). Lead exceeded acceptable levels in 63% of liver samples (max. = 0.463 mg kg^-1), 51% of kidney samples (max. = 11.8 mg kg^-1) and 65% of muscle samples (max. = 9.10 mg kg^-1). Mercury concentrations in the liver were higher than allowed in 13% (max. = 0.552 mg kg^-1) in kidneys in 27% (max. = 0.484 mg kg^-1), and in the muscles in 15% (max. = 0.103 mg kg^-1) of cases. Arsenic concentrations in muscles exceeded the permissible value in 30% of cases (max. = 0.286 mg kg^-1). The concentrations of Cr, Cu, Fe and Zn did not significantly differ from the values reported in other studies. Median concentrations of Cr, Cu, Fe and Zn ranged as follows: muscle (0.193, 2.94, 44.5 and 20.6 mg kg^-1), kidney (0.140, 5.32, 110 and 23.3 mg kg^-1) and liver (0.130, 3.71, 278 and 36.0 mg kg^-1).

克罗地亚帕普克自然公园野猪（Sus scrofa L.）中选定重金属和砷浓度的评估。

本研究旨在测定克罗地亚东部帕普克自然公园野猪（Sus scrofa）肌肉、肝脏和肾脏中As、Cd、Hg、Pb、Cr、Cu、Fe和Zn的浓度。采集38头3岁以下野猪的肌肉、肝脏和肾脏，采用ICP-MS法测定其元素浓度。在50%的肾脏样本中，镉含量超过了人体可接受的允许水平。= 6.64 mg kg-1)， 20%的肝脏样本(最大。= 4.60 mg kg-1)和43%的肌肉样本(最大。= 0.672 mg kg-1)。在63%的肝脏样本中，铅含量超过可接受水平。= 0.463 mg kg-1)， 51%的肾脏样本(最大；= 11.8 mg kg-1)和65%的肌肉样本(最大。= 9.10 mg kg-1)。肝脏中的汞浓度高于允许的13%（最高）。= 0.552 mg kg-1)。= 0.484 mg kg-1)，肌肉中占15%(最大。= 0.103 mg kg-1)。肌肉中的砷浓度超过允许值的案例占30%（最高为10%）。= 0.286 mg kg-1)。Cr、Cu、Fe和Zn的浓度与其他研究报告的值没有显著差异。Cr、Cu、Fe和Zn的中位浓度分别为肌肉（0.193、2.94、44.5和20.6 mg kg-1）、肾脏（0.140、5.32、110和23.3 mg kg-1）和肝脏（0.130、3.71、278和36.0 mg kg-1）。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Xenobiotics publishes original studies concerning the beneficial (pharmacology) and detrimental effects (toxicology) of xenobiotics in all organisms. A xenobiotic (“stranger to life”) is defined as a chemical that is not usually found at significant concentrations or expected to reside for long periods in organisms. In addition to man-made chemicals, natural products could also be of interest if they have potent biological properties, special medicinal properties or that a given organism is at risk of exposure in the environment. Topics dealing with abiotic- and biotic-based transformations in various media (xenobiochemistry) and environmental toxicology are also of interest. Areas of interests include the identification of key physical and chemical properties of molecules that predict biological effects and persistence in the environment; the molecular mode of action of xenobiotics; biochemical and physiological interactions leading to change in organism health; pathophysiological interactions of natural and synthetic chemicals; development of biochemical indicators including new “-omics” approaches to identify biomarkers of exposure or effects for xenobiotics.
