Evaluation of mercury contamination in dogs using hair analysis
Original language description
The present work is aimed at assessing the mercury contamination of dogs through the analysis of hair. For the determination of the total mercury in dogs, we chose skin derivatives - hair. The content of total mercury was also measured in the pelleted feed. Dogs were divided into two groups. The first group was fed granular feed containing fish and the second group granular feed free of fish. A total of 131 hair and granular feed samples were collected. The total mercury in hair and granular feed samples was measured using atomic absorption spectrophotometry on AMA 254 (Altec Ltd., Czech Republic). The values of the total mercury content in the hair of dogs had a median value of 0.0375 mg/kg in dogs fed granulated feed containing fish and of 0.0336 mg/kg in dogs fed granulated feed free of fish. No statistically significant difference was found between the groups (P>0.05). The median values of the total mercury were 0.0048 mg/kg in granulated feed containing fish and 0.0017 mg/kg in gr
