Concentrations of cadmium, lead and mercury were determined in muscle, liver and kidney tissue from three different age groups of red deer (young animals aged 6 or 7 months, middle-aged animals aged 3 to 5 years, old animals aged over 8 years) from the Baranja region of Croatia. Median cadmium concentrations were low in the muscles of all investigated age groups (0.0002; 0.0009 and 0.0020 μg/g), higher in the liver (0.0279; 0.0656 and 0.1463 μg/g) and highest in the kidneys (0.4792; 2.8531 and 6.1657 μg/g). A positive correlation was established between cadmium concentration and age. In all analyzed tissues the median lead concentration was higher in young (muscle 0.0024; liver 0.0364 and kidney 0.0618 μg/g), compared to middle-aged animals (muscle 0.0001; liver 0.0184 and kidney 0.0160 μg/g). In contrast to cadmium, mercury had a negative correlation to age but median concentrations were very low (in muscle: 0.0011; 0.0001 and 0.0006 μg/g; in liver: 0.0051; 0.0037 and 0.0022 μg/g and in kidney: 0.0145; 0.0183 and 0.0106 μg/g) especially compared to cadmium. From the hygienic point of view all the examined tissues are edible since concentrations of the analyzed metals do not exceed values proposed by the official regulations, with the exception of a few kidney samples, which contained cadmium above the recommended value. Furthermore, mercury concentrations are no longer (since 2008) a matter of legislation.
测定了来自克罗地亚巴兰尼亚地区 3 个不同年龄组（6 或 7 月龄的幼龄动物、3 至 5 岁的中年动物、8 岁以上的老龄动物）的鹿肌肉、肝脏和肾脏组织中的镉、铅和汞浓度。在所研究的所有年龄组的肌肉中，镉浓度均处于低水平（0.0002；0.0009 和 0.0020μg/g），在肝脏中较高（0.0279；0.0656 和 0.1463μg/g），在肾脏中最高（0.4792；2.8531 和 6.1657μg/g）。镉浓度与年龄呈正相关。在所分析的所有组织中，年轻动物（肌肉 0.0024；肝脏 0.0364 和肾脏 0.0618μg/g）的铅浓度中位数高于中年动物（肌肉 0.0001；肝脏 0.0184 和肾脏 0.0160μg/g）。与镉相反，汞与年龄呈负相关，但浓度非常低（肌肉：0.0011；0.0001 和 0.0006μg/g；肝脏：0.0051；0.0037 和 0.0022μg/g；肾脏：0.0145；0.0183 和 0.0106μg/g），特别是与镉相比。从卫生学角度来看，所有检查的组织都是可食用的，因为所分析金属的浓度不超过官方法规规定的数值，只有少数肾脏样本中的镉含量超过了建议值。此外，汞浓度自 2008 年以来不再受立法限制。
