“…These values are higher than our results. Copper values have been reported as 23.11-4.96 μg/g by Parker. Our copper values are in agreement with literature values (Parker and Hamr 2001). There is no information about maximum copper levels in animal tissue samples in Turkish standards (Anonymous 2008).…”

In this study, trace element contents of animal tissues were determined by atomic absorption spectrometry after microwave digestion method. The accuracy of the method was confirmed by analysis of standard reference material (NIST SRM 1577b Bovine Liver). Trace element contents in animal tissue samples were found in the range of 98.3-18.2 μg/g (Fe), 2.89-0.26 μg/g (Mn), 23.9-4.54 μg/g (Zn), 0.08-0.01 μg/g (Pb), 32.9-1.66 μg/g (Cu), and 0.32-0.01 μg/g (Cd). The results were compared with literature values. The results obtained for toxic and trace elements in analyzed animal tissue samples were acceptable to human consumption at nutritional and toxic levels.

“…Higher results were also obtained for red deer in Croatia by Lazarus et al [7], who reported that liver Fe concentration averaged 49.9 μg/g w.w. in kidneys, and ranged from 13.4 to 162 μg/g w.w. in liver. In a study conducted by Karpiński [24] in central-eastern Poland, the mean liver Fe concentration in red deer was 92.70 μg/g w.w. High iron concentrations in red deer organs were also reported by Wolkers et al [52] in the Netherlands (506.0 μg/g d.w. in liver and 231.0 μg/g d.w. in kidneys) and by Parker and Hamr [30] in Ontario, Canada (386.7 μg/g d.w. in liver and 267.4 μg/g d.w. in kidneys).…”

“…Game meat has recently gained popularity among consumers and is often promoted as healthy. However, studies by various authors [11,29,30] provide evidence that the content of heavy metals in this meat relatively often exceeds the maximum residue limits (MRL) set for products derived form domesticated animals.…”

The present paper examines the degree of environmental contamination in areas covered by the Natura 2000 programme, located in north-western Poland, with selected heavy metals based on their concentration in target organs of roe and red deer. Lead, cadmium, copper, iron, and zinc concentrations were determined by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry. Residues of lead and cadmium were found in most of the analysed samples of roe and red deer organs The concentration of cadmium in the organs of the animals studied was much higher than that of lead. The median for Pb in liver and kidneys was 0.055 and 0.092 μg/g dry weight (d.w.) in roe deer, and 0.067 and 0.081 μg/g d.w. in red deer, respectively. The median for liver and kidney cadmium was 0.770 and 6.139 μg/g d.w. in roe deer, and 0.422 and 6.365 μg/g d.w. in red deer, respectively. Our study has demonstrated that this area is laden with lead and cadmium. This is evidenced by the fact that maximum permissible levels of these elements in the organs of red and roe deer, which were used as bioindicators of environmental contamination, were exceeded.

“…Perennial grasses occupy diverse soils throughout the world, including many sites contaminated with heavy metals, and produce forages with elevated trace element concentrations that impact the health and nutritional status of livestock and wildlife (Parker and Hamr 2001;Madejon et al 2002;Redente et al 2002;Thornton 2002;Archer and Caldwell 2004;Miranda et al 2009;Barbafieri et al 2011). Thus, researchers seek to identify and select perennial grasses species and varieties that can be used to stabilize phytotoxic soils and reduce exposure of these heavy metals in livestock and wildlife Frérot et al 2006;Haydon and Cobbett 2007;Rotkittikhun et al 2007;Mendez and Maier 2008;Karczewska et al 2013;Doronila et al 2014).…”

Quantitative trait loci (QTL) and candidate genes associated with trace element concentrations in perennial grasses grown on phytotoxic soil contaminated with heavy metals

et al. 2015

Background and aims Native grasses planted or growing on sites contaminated by heavy metals should be safe for livestock and wildlife. Plant breeders seek to identify genes and quantitative trait loci (QTLs) controlling trace element variation among these grasses. Methods QTLs controlling forage mineral concentrations were mapped in a population derived from two perennial wildrye species, Leymus cinereus and Leymus triticoides, grown in soil contaminated with arsenic, cadmium, copper, lead, zinc, and other trace elements. These QTLs were aligned to the genome sequence of barley (Hordeum vulgare) for comparison to genes or QTLs controlling trace element uptake in other species and soils, including perennial wildrye grown in fertile soil.Results A total of 25 QTLs for 14 elements were detected on contaminated soil. Three of four zinc QTLs were conserved between fertile and contaminated soils, but no other QTLs were conserved across these test soils. Two homoeologous molybdenum QTLs were closely associated with MOT1 orthogenes, which encode one of two known molybdate transporters in plants, and possible candidate gene associations were identified for other heavy metal QTLs. Conclusions Results elucidate conserved and unparalleled mechanisms controlling trace element variation among different plants and soils, showing opportunities and challenges in plant breeding.Each year, millions of tonnes of new trace metals including arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo), lead (Pb), and zinc (Zn) are produced by mines and mobilized into the biosphere (Nriagu and Pacyna 1988;Moore and Luoma 1990). Humans, plants and animals require Cu, Mo, Mn, Zn and other trace elements including iron (Fe) and magnesium (Mg) as essential micronutrients, but these metals can be toxic to most plants and animals at higher concentrations (Welch 1995;Corah 1996;Grusak and DellaPenna 1999;He et al. 2005; White and Broadley 2005; White and Brown 2010). Other trace metals including As, Cd, and Pb are not essential Plant Soil
