Bioaccumulation of lead in the organs of rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus)

The concentrations of lead in the vital organs of rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) exposed to a sublethal concentration of 202.5 mg/kg of lead nitrate for a period of two weeks was determined using atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The eight organs analyzed showed accumulation of lead in mg/kg: li...
