| Abstract | HEEP COPYRIGHT: BIOL ABS. Guinea pigs were fed cabbage grown on municipal sewage sludge from Syracuse, New York, USA, or soil (control) as 45% of their diet for 100 days. Among 45 elements determined, Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn were higher in the sludge grown cabbage and specific tissues of the fed animals than controls. Cd was elevated in kidney, liver and spleen, while only liver exhibited increased Pb levels in guinea pigs fed the sludge grown plants. Polychlorinated biphenyls were found at higher concentrations in the sludge-grown cabbage and livers of the fed guinea pigs than in the controls. Intestinal aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase activity was 129% higher than controls in the animals fed the sludge grown cabbage. All animals grew normally and showed no signs of overt heavy metal toxicosis. |
