I want to detect what the effect Eating food contaminated with heavy metals such as lead and cadmium affects the quality of meat?
Cadmium and lead are not transferred from feed to muscle but only to organs like liver and kidney
Article Carryover of cadmium from feed in growing pigs
Lead has a bad effect on human health in general and especially on liver counts, which causes an imbalance in the concentration of enzymes GOT, GPT. Causing a constant vomiting and food instability in the stomach. It also affects the functioning of the bowel and leads to constipation. As it will be deposited on the limbs of the bones, such as the bones of the thigh and leg, causing pain in the joints of the legs and hands. There is a bad effect of lead on brain function especially in children, and it has a bad reflection to the adults by monitoring the bad mood in the treatment.
yes of course sine those two metals are toxic once their level in meat is higher than permissible values in meat. it can affect human health
Dear Haifa,
I'm not sure if you are only interested in meat. Professor Kan's paper is very helpful with regard to livestock meat as food. The same is generally true for fish where Cd is mostly accumulated in the fish organs (kidney, liver, gills, digestive tract). I attached a paper with one example. I hope this helps.

hello
Yes, heavy elements are carcinogens and can not be analyzed by the body so they accumulate in meat

Hi
Lead and cadmium are carcinogenic substances and have harmful effect on public health but i think, they are accumulated in internal organs as kidneys and liver.
Regards
