Abstract
The area of Upper Silesia is the most industrialized region in Poland. The concentrations of cadmium (Cd), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu) and metallothionein (MT) in autopsy samples (n = 29) of liver from the inhabitants of that area were determined. The metal levels varied in the ranges of 0.5-11.9 micrograms Cd/g, 45.3-221.6 micrograms Zn/g, 1.4-10.3 micrograms Cu/g. The concentration of MT determined by the Hg-method was high: 0.38-2.86 mumol Hg/g. A positive linear relationship was observed between Zn and MT levels.
