Abstract
The purpose of the study was to determine the influence of environment on concentration of arsenic in tissues of hunting animals (roes and wild pigs), coming from three different in consideration of contamination regions. The study was made in 2003-2004. Liver, kidneys, muscles,lungs and hair samples were taken and mineralized dry a muffle furnace at 450 0C. Arsenic was determined directly in mineralizate by the ICP –AES method on the Varian apparatus. Results of these studies proves, that hunting animals can be good bioindicators of the environment contamination by arsenic. They also show necessity to make the study on contents of this metal, not only in industrial regions and urban areas, but also in sites exposed on local contaminations.
