“…A study in the Dehcho region of the NWT led to a public health advisory which recommended no consumption of moose kidneys from the southern Mackenzie Mountains (SMM) due to cadmium concentrations (Larter, 2009;Larter and Kandola, 2010). There were similar findings in moose in Alaska (Arnold et al, 2006) and in barren-ground caribou in the NWT (Larter and Nagy, 2000). The European Food Safety Authority has recommended a tolerable weekly intake of 2.5 mg/kg BW (EFSA, 2012), a reduction to 40% of the original WHO provisional tolerable weekly intake recommendation of 25 mg/kg body weight (JECFA, 2010).…”

“…As an example of the suggested procedure, we will use the results from a recently presented study from Alaska (Arnold et al 2006). The Cd levels in kidney cortex were determined in moose from three different regions: Galena ('G', n = 24), Yakutat ('Y', n = 16) and Palmer ('P', n = 32).…”

“…Later some authors have used linear regression and correlation to verify Cd accumulation with age (Brazil and Ferguson 1989;Sivertsen et al 1995;O'Hara et al 2001;Gamberg et al 2005), while others resort to non-parametric correlation measures (Medvedev 1999;Arnold et al 2006). In general there was a significant positive correlation between age and Cd in kidney, while Cd in liver was not always significantly correlated with age.…”

In the northern hemisphere moose has been found to be suitable as a monitoring animal for the presence of cadmium in the environment. The metal accumulates mainly in the kidney and the liver, with the rate of accumulation dependent on age and possibly also on gender. Collection of tissue material often results in sample selections with disparate age and gender composition, which makes comparison between different regions and different studies difficult. A previous large scale investigation of metals in kidney and liver from moose in Sweden provided Cd data (n = 3,817 and 3,802, respectively) to further explore the relation between Cd accumulation and age/gender. Based on local averages, the individual deviations were analysed with respect to the factors age and gender resulting in an 'ageing function' for each gender and organ. In addition, estimates of the pure individual variations were obtained; the standard deviations correspond to a factor 1.7-1.9 for the Cd concentration, which indicates that 25-30 samples are needed to give a representative mean value (with RSD approximately 10%). In order to be able to compare results from different studies, all individual results can be transformed to represent a 'standard moose' with respect to age and gender. A comparison along these lines was undertaken between Cd levels in Alaska and Sweden. Finally, a relationship between the Cd levels in kidney and liver was derived, providing at least rough estimates for kidney from liver values (or vice versa).
