The blood of 206 dogs and 26 cats was analyzed for lead by non-flame atomic absorption giving mean levels of 6.4 mug/100 ml for dogs and 5.2 mug/100 ml for cats. Statistical treatment of the results using a paired Students' t-test showed significant differences by age for dogs but not for cats. Urban dogs had significantly higher blood lead levels than country dogs (P less than 0.05) thus indicating that dogs can be regarded as useful environmental monitors for lead pollution.
对206只狗和26只猫的血液进行了无火焰原子吸收法铅含量分析,结果显示狗的平均铅含量为6.4微克/100毫升,猫为5.2微克/100毫升。使用配对学生t检验对结果进行统计学处理,结果表明狗的血铅水平随年龄有显著差异,而猫则没有。城市狗的血铅水平显著高于乡村狗(P小于0.05),因此表明狗可被视为铅污染的有效环境监测指标。
