Assessment of Heavy Metal Pollution and Contaminants in the Cattle Meat
نویسندگان
چکیده
Heavy metal toxicity is one of the major current environment health problems and is potentially dangerous because of bio-accumulation through the food chain (Aycicek et al., 2008) and this can cause hazardous effects on livestock and human health (Aschner, 2002). In general, the hazardous effects of these toxic elements depends upon the dietary concentration of the element, absorption of the element by the system, homeostatic control of the body for the element and also the species of the animal involved
