MALLARDS (Anas platyrhynchos) - A RISK TO HUMAN HEALTH FROM EXPOSURE TO LEAD SHOTS CONTAMINATING THE ENVIRONMENT
Original language description
The problem around bodies of water used for waterfowl hunting is elevated lead contamination. The aim of the study was to determine which bodily tissues of mallards suffer the most from lead contamination, and whether such contamination can lead to the exceeding of the maximum allowable lead concentrations in meat and giblets set by the EU for poultry. Two groups of hunted mallards were used in the study. One group consisted of ten hunted mallards that spent a part of their life on a pond (experimentalgroup, E). The other group was made up of ten mallards raised without access to a body of water (control group, C). Lead concentrations were determined by high resolution continuum source atomic absorption spectrometry. In experimental group, considerably higher average lead concentrations (mean +/- SD; mg/kg) were found in breast muscle (E=0.253 +/- 0.205; K=0.077 +/- 0.031), heart (E=0.272 +/- 0.307; K=0.096 +/- 0.042), lungs (E=2.721 +/- 3.950; K=0.205 +/- 0.048), liver (E=7.669 +/- 1
