We used wild boars and roe deer as biomonitors of lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and mercury (Hg)contamination in two major industrial sites in Poland with different levels of toxic metal pollution. MasurianLakes District, located far away from industry, was used as the reference site. Levels of Pb, Cd, and Hg in liver,kidney and muscle samples and in the stomach content of the animals were determined using atomic absorptionspectroscopy (AAS) methods. We calculated also the mean concentration factors in the animal tissues versustheir concentration in the gastric or rumen content. Our results indicate that area affected by metal smeltingwas more contaminated than brown coal mining area and the reference site, as indicated by higher levels of Pband Cd in tissues and stomach contents of the animals. High levels of those metals in the offal of game animalsmay pose a threat to consumers of venison.
