The cadmium (Cd) contents in hair of macaques (n = 45, Macaca fuscata) living on the Shimokita Peninsula were investigated. The mean Cd contents in the hair of Japanese (n = 34, 5.01 μg/g) and macaques (3.05 μg/g) tendency to be higher than those of animals living other areas. The Cd contents of hair of wild macaques were significantly (p < 0.01) lower than that of humans, although three were no significant difference between Cd contents of humans and that of the macaque in captivity. The hair of the macaque was suggested as a useful sample for measurement of Cd contamination in the environment.
研究了栖息在下北半岛的猕猴（n=45，食蟹猕猴）头发中的镉（Cd）含量。日本猕猴（n=34，5.01μg/g）和猕猴（3.05μg/g）的头发中 Cd 含量均有偏高的趋势，高于其他地区动物的含量。尽管圈养猕猴的 Cd 含量与人类无显著差异（p<0.01），但野生猕猴的 Cd 含量显著低于人类。因此，猕猴的头发可作为测量环境 Cd 污染的有用样本。
