Description

The level of hazardous impact of heavy metals and trace elements on the pastured animals (goats and sheep) was evaluated by biomonitoring techniques using inner organs (such as lung, spleen, liver, kidney, heart). The concentration of 37 elements was determined by ENAA. Uptake abilities of lung, spleen, liver, kidney and heart were compared for these heavy metals and trace elements. The content of heavy metals and other trace elements in these samples was determined by instrumental neutron activation analysis using epithermal neutrons (ENAA) at the IBR-2 reactor, FLNP, JINR, Dubna. The obtained results were compared with the reference materials data
