| Abstract | The acidic sediment of Sumatra's lowlands naturally increases the availability of microminerals. Moreover, residential and municipal waste streams and other anthropogenicsources of pollutants commonly end up in the lowlands. As a result, waterfowl could beexposed to heavy metal contamination. This study present heavy metal concentrations (Iron, Zinc, Manganese, Copper, Cadmium, and Lead) in the muscles and liver samplesof domestic mallards (Anas platyrhynchos f. domestica) reared in backyards around thecity of Palembang, grazing mallards in rural regions, and whistling ducks (Dendrocygnaarcuata). Zinc levels in the muscles were higher in the backyard mallards than in thegrazing mallards. The muscles of whistling ducks contained higher iron than mallards.Copper, cadmium, and lead concentrations in the livers were lower in the whistling ducksthan in the mallards. The metal concentrations were within the previously reported rangein other mallards, however, the maximum value of Iron level (37 to 6,763 mg/kg dryweight) was higher. Manganese, Iron, Zinc, Cadmium, and Lead levels were shown to behighly correlated in the muscles and livers. Lead concentrations in 99% of samples andCadmium concentrations in 22% of samples exceed European Commission acceptablelimits. This study indicates a health risk from long-term consumption of duck meatsaccording to the elevated Cadmium and Lead concentrations. |
