Horse whole blood trace elements from different Sicily areas: biomonitoring of environmental risk

Horses are excellent bioindicators for the assessment of environmental pollution. The aim of this study was to evaluate the levels and potential bioaccumulation of 28 mineral elements in 75 horse whole blood samples collected from five pollution-prone areas of Sicily, Italy. A direct mercury analyzer (DMA-80) was used for Hg determination, and an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (lCP-MS) for all other elements. A one-way ANOVA test, followed by Bonferroni's multiple comparison ...
