This study was carried out in order to find out the level of sheep’s meat, liver and kidney contamination by heavy metals such as: copper, lead, zinc, cadmium and cobalt in different areas of al Sulaimanyah Governorate in comparison with international allowed levels. For the above purpose; three samples of (meat, liver and kidney) were taken in three different
districts of al Sulaimanyah Governorate were covered: Said Sadiq, Dokan district and sulaimanyah city center. The samples were collected during October and November 2020. The triple interference (factors) has affected significantly, the amount of copper in the different sheep tissues; so the amount was varied with the difference of tissue, the place and the time of taking the sample. The highest level of copper in Liver’s tissue was recorded in Dokan district during November, while the lowest level of copper in the meat tissue was recorded in Said Sadiq district during November. The triple interference for the study factors, also affected the level of Zinc in different sheep tissue were the amount varied by tissue difference, place and the time of sample taking. Highest level of Zinc was recorded in kidneys tissue, in Sulaimanyah city Centre during October, while less amount of Zinc was recorded in liver’s tissue in Said Sadiq during October. The triple interference within the study’s factor, significantly affected the amount of cadmium. The amounts were varied by difference of tissue, place and time of taking the samples. Highest level of cadmium was recorded in the meat tissue, at Sulaimanyah city Centre during October, while less amount of Cadmium was recorded in liver’s tissue, Said Sadiq district during October. The triple interference did not affect significantly the amount of Lead and Cobalt in different sheep’s tissue.
