Concentrations of arsenic and cadmium were determined in broiler chickens, cattle and swine collected from the local markets of the northeastern Thailand. Average concentrations of arsenic based on a wet weight basis in muscle, liver and kidney were 0.022±0.008, 0.068±0.025, 0.286±0.073 &mug/g cattle; 0.045±0.022, 0.402±0.096, 0.812±0.335 &mug/g chickens; and 0.116±0.044, 0.479±0.142, 1.012±0.500 g/g swine, respectively. Cadmium levels in meat of cattle, chickens and swine samples were 0.024±0.010, 0.028±0.006 and 0.042±0.015 g/g, respectively. In liver and kidney, average of cadmium levels was 0.286±0.062 and 0.412±0.074 &mug/g cattle; 0.312±0.092 and 0.645±0.068 &mug/g chickens and 0.368±0.106 and 0.758±0.120 &mug/g swine, respectively. Statistical analysis showed that chickens and swine levels were higher of these elements than in cattle. None of samples, however, exceeded the arsenic limits set by Thailand regulations and the average concentrations of cadmium in animal tissues were still within acceptable levels of Thailand standards.
