Wild als Bioindikator auf dem Gebiet der neuen Bundeslaender

The report gives a survey of the samples (muscle, liver and kidney) of one year old roe and red deer investigated between 1992 and 1994. A total of 179 animals from the areas Hochharz, Duebener Heide and Ostufer Mueritz was investigated for environmental chemicals (Pb, Cd, Hg, 6 PCB, 21 pesticides). Beside differences in the concentrations of Cd in kidneys and livers of fawns and roebucks dependent on age there are differences in the concentrations of Cd in kidneys and livers between roe deer and red deer. The concentrations of Cd of young red deer are lower wherea young red deer possibly reacts stronger to Pb exposition. There are differences in the concentration of Cd and Pb in livers and kidneys between the areas where the samples had been taken. Partially the concentrations of b-HCH, a-HCH, PCB 138, PCB 153 and PCB 180 in liver exceeded the maximum permissible value. Despite significantly higher concentrations of b-HCH (partially also g- and a-HCH) with roebucks from the Duebener Heide area in 1994 tendentious differences between the areas are hardy noticeable. Tendentious differences between the areas could not be detected in the course of the three years of investigation.
