Concentration of cadmium, lead, chromium, zinc, copper, and manganese in liver, kidney, and muscle of red deer was investigated. For analysis of the content of these trace elements an AAS method was used. The concentration of cadmium was significantly (p < 0.05) higher in kidney in comparison with liver and muscle. The level of lead was the highest in muscle (p < 0.05). Lower values were detected in liver and in kidney. The concentration of chromium was very similar in all studied tissues. A higher concentration of zinc was found in muscle, followed by kidney and liver. The level of copper was significanlty higher in liver (h < 0.05), and lower in kidneys and muscle. In evaluation of the concentration of manganese in red deer, the highest concentration of this element in liver was detected.
