Abstract
The aim of the study was to assess the degree of bioaccumulation of lead in the muscle tissue of wild boars harvested in Poland in six selected voivodeships. The presence of chemical contaminants is one of the criteria for assessing the safety of food products for human consumption. The material consisted of samples taken from wild boars in peak condition during the 2013/2014 season. The animals were shot down in six voivodeships: Lower Silesian, Lubusz, Kuyavian-Pomeranian, Warmian-Masurian, Greater Poland and West Pomeranian. The analysis showed that the acceptable concentration of lead was exceeded in only five cases, which was about 4.5% of the samples. Excessive concentrations occurred in the Greater Poland (1 sample), West Pomeranian (2 samples) and Kuyavian-Pomeranian (2 samples) voivodeships.
