Trace elements and heavy metals were determined in poultry and livestock meat by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry after graphite block digestion. Samples were collected from markets in Taiwan and included beef (20), mutton (20), pork (30), chicken (30), duck (10) and goose (10). Mean concentrations of Mn, Co, As, Se, Mo, Cd, Sb and Pb in meat samples were 0.106-0.365g/g, 0.002-0.033g/g, 0.005-0.035g/g, 0.108-0.349g/g, 0.029-0.140g/g,<0.002-0.003g/g, <0.002-0.004g/g and 0.009-0.046g/g, respectively. Arsenic concentrations in both pork and chicken were higher than in other meat. Lead concentrations were higher in duck. Risk assessment from these data did not indicate harm for public health.
