Abstract
Heavy metals are among the most dangerous forms of pollutants that have a tendency to accumulate in tissues and organs of animals, as well as in humans. Cadmium (Cd) is one of the most toxic metal. When a non smoker individual is not exposed to Cd at its occupational environment it is received only by means of air, water and food of plant or animal origin. Animals including cattle are polluted in the same manner. Having all these in mind, the authors undertook a research program on the measurement of Cd levels in beef muscle, liver and kidney from animals that grew up in rural and metalliferous areas of northern Greece. The results were correlated with the age of animals and the area of their breeding. The aim of this study was to protect public health from consuming polluted with Cd beef tissues.
