Abstract
Lead belongs to the group of heavy metals and is one highly toxic. Lead polluted environments constitute a serious problem for human beings. This paper is aimed at throwing light on the concentrations of lead in the muscles, liver, kidneys, spleen and hearts of different animals (swine, sheep, and goat) from three different localities around Probistip. A total of 98 samples were collected for this purpose and lead concentrations were analyzed using atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Results showed that lead concentrations are dependent on the sampling locality, the organ and animal species. The highest concentrations of lead were detected in kidney of swine taken at the mine waste landfill near the central town area of Probistip (1.025 and 2.454mg/kg respectively). Chicken kidney taken in the Strmosh area contained the highest concentration of lead (1.125 mg/kg). The concentrations of lead in liver and kidney taken from the industrial area were higher compared to other localities from which samples of tissue were taken for analysis.
