Abstract

Two hundred and ten samples from bovine kidneys, livers, lungs, spleens, mesenteric lymph nodes, muscular portions of diaphragm and brains were collected randomly from 30 fit bovine carcasses for human consumption from Port-Said abattoirs. Lead and cadmium residues were analyzed. Lead and cadmium were detected in 100% of the specimens. Mean lead values in the examined samples obtained from kidney, liver, lung, spleen, mesenteric lymph node, muscular portion of diaphragm and brain for bovine were 1.674, 0.919, 2.206, 2.681, 2.818, 1.641 and   1.201 μg/g wet weight respectively. While mean cadmium values in the examined samples were 0.611, 0.564; 0.773; 0.657; 0.645; 0.779 and 0.488 μg/g on the basis of wet weight respectively. All examined samples 210 (100%) exceeded the recommended level of lead established by E.O.S.Q.C while 46 (21.904%) among the total samples could be considered unsuitable for human consumption entirely as it approximate the critical levels of cadmium established by E.O.S.Q.C. The effects of lead and cadmium on the public health were discussed.
