Animals living in the contaminated areas are exposed to elevated concentrations of risk elements. Pfibramsko is one of most contaminated sites in Czech Republic. This area is loaded with sources of geological and metallurgical industry influence resulting in extremely high Pb, Cd, and Zn contents in soil. We analyzed eighteen subjects trapped on selected locations around Kovohute Pribram, belonging to the species Apodemus sylvaticus and Microtus arvalis. By differential pulse voltammetry and modified Brdicka reaction were measured concentrations metallothionein (MT) in their livers. Differences of concentrations between measured MT contents were found between species and among places of trapping.
