Description
Summary:The present research describes a study of homemade meat products of wild boar shot with lead ammuni-tion. Initially, X-ray radiography of the entire batch of sausages was performed to ascertainment the presence of larger lead fragments. Afterward, visibly uncontaminated parts of sausages were examined using 3D scan-ning microtomography and the presence of lead microscopic particles was found. The results of quantitative analysis reported a high mean lead concentration than the maximum permitted levels according to EU Regula-tion 1881/2006. ... : {"references": ["Brown, C. S., J.
