Abstract :
The aim of the study was to assess regional differences in selenium content in the environment
based on analysis of the Se concentrations in liver and kidney of red deer from central, northern, south-eastern and
south-western Poland. The level of selenium in organs was determined using spectrofluorometric methods. The
mean concentration of selenium in the liver and kidney of red deer was 0.084 ?g/g w.w. and 0.621 ?g/g w.w.,
respectively. The highest mean concentration of selenium was found in the liver of red deer from the south-eastern
region (0.120 ?g/gw.w.), and it was significantly higher than themean level of seleniumin the liver of red deer from
the northern (0.068 ?g/gw.w.), central (0.070 ?g/gw.w.) and south-western (0.079 ?g/gw.w.) regions.The highest
mean concentration of selenium in the kidney was also found in red deer from the south-eastern region (0.784 ?g/
g w.w.), and it was significantly higher than the mean level of selenium in the kidney of red deer from the northern
(0.542 ?g/gw.w.), central (0.561 ?g/gw.w.) and south-western (0.606 ?g/gw.w.) regions. Our results indicate that
there are deficits of selenium in the environment in Poland.
