Details In order to evaluate the sanitary environment of Hiroshima area, we collected wild oysters , mud and commercially available givier for the measurements of zinc (Zn) and Cd concentration. In the commercially available givier,Cd was detected in 2 out of the 6 samples of venison (33.3%). It is well known that Cd distribute with high concentration in kidney and liver but not in meat. Therefore, accumulation to Cd could be big in venison and not so low in wild boar. To investigate the Cd contamination in land and marine products and to inform them to public is necessary for the reduction of Cd intake of the consumer.
