Abstract

The article reports on a 2015 study of skeletal muscle, liver and kidney samples of young wild boars from Moslavina and Slavonia for cadmium (Cd) content. Based on results, young wild boars can bioindicate environmental pollution with Cd. The article notes that the study's research area has stronger anthropogenic influence than the hunting ground, and that Cd tissue concentration in the samples is lower than the permitted Croatian concentration in food.
