Fecha de publicación: | 2012 | Editor: | Elsevier | Citación: | Environmental Pollution 160: 118-124 (2012) | Resumen: | The effects of Pb pollution on cattle and sheep raised in an ancient mining area were studied through the use of blood Pb (PbB) levels and δ-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (δ-ALAD) activity. Lead levels in livestock blood from the mining area (n = 110) were significantly elevated when compared to the controls (n = 79). In 91.4% of cattle (n = 58) and 13.5% of sheep (n = 52) sampled in the mining area, PbB levels corresponded to subclinical exposure (6-35 μg/dl). Two young cattle (<2 years) from the mining area (n = 5) had PbB levels indicative of clinical poisoning (>35 μg/dl). Elevated PbB was also accompanied by δ-ALAD activity inhibition in blood, which confirms that measurable effects of Pb poisoning were taking place. Observed PbB levels suggest that a potential risk to human consumers of beef from the Pb polluted areas may also exist, as has been shown previously for game meat from the same mining area. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/143235 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.envpol.2011.09.031 | Identificadores: | doi: 10.1016/j.envpol.2011.09.031 issn: 0269-7491 e-issn: 1873-6424 |
