ABSTRACT
Lead, cadmium and copper residues were determined in each of 15 samples of camel's luncheon and frozen sausage, collected from different supermarkets in Cairo, Giza and Zagazig Cities. The residues of these heavy metals were detected by using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. The obtained results revealed that the mean values +/- S.E. of lead, cadmium and copper [p.p.m] in camel's luncheon were 0.138 +/- 0.008, 0.055 +/- 0.004 and 3.662 +/- 0.221, respectively, while in; frozen sausage, such residues were 0.133 +/- 0.008, 0058 +/- 0.004 and 3.789 +/- 0.189 p p m, respectively. The present results were compared to the permissible limits of FAO/WHO [1972], WHO [1972] and Egyptian Organization for Standardization and Quality Control "E.O.S.Q.C." [1993]. Public health importance and the hazardous toxic effects of these heavy metals as well as the suggestive recommendations to minimize the pollution with heavy metals were discussed
