Warning issued after high levels of metal discovered in big game liver, kidneys The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources is again warn- ing hunters not to eat the kidneys and liver from moose, black bear, and deer because of high cadmium levels. The World Health Organization (WHO) has set a limit of 0.5 mil- ligrams per week for human con- sumption of cadmium. Extensive province-wide test- ing has established that consum- ing 300 grams (11 ounces) of liver from deer fawns per week is with- in WHO guidelines. No warning is necessary on the consumption of other meat from moose, black bear, or deer. Cadmium is a heavy metal which can be toxic at high levels of exposure. It occurs naturally at low levels in the ecosystem, but may reach higher levels in some areas. Cadmium accumulates in the kidneys and liver of some longer- living species such as moose, black bear, and white-tailed deer. Experiments have shown that very high concentrations of cadmium can cause kidney and liver dam- age in humans. The MNR issued a warning for consumption of the organs of these animals to ensure that the public does not exceed the WHO limit. MNR researchers first discov- ered high cadmium levels in moose kidneys in 1984. Since then, with the co-operation of Ontario hunters, samples of more than 1,000 moose, 1500 white- tailed deer and 200 black bear have been examined throughout the province. The levels of the metal in moose, black bear, and deer are not uniform across Ontario. The per centage of cadmium found in moose and bear is generally high- er than that found in deer. The ministry's sampling indi- cates that levels are generally low- est in southwestern Ontario and highest in the central part of the province. The remainder of the areas tested showed intermediate levels. 'lhe reason for these regional differences has not yet been estab- lished. The ministry is involved in various co-operative studies with other government agencies and universities to determine the path- ways of cadmium in the ecosys- tem.

Chief Kidder said that a quan- tity of bottles filled with an "explosive substance" were found in a burnt and shattered condition. Commonly known as 'Molotov Cocktails', the containers are filled with a flammable liquid and have a wick sticking out the top. The Chief told the News that the police department is taking this find very seriously. "It is a very foolish, dangerous thing to experi- ment (with home- made explosives) when people aren't aware of € the repercussions. "The users are very lucky an explosion didn't occur," Chief Kidder stated. In two national instances last week, young people were severely wounded in separate incidents when they were experimenting with home-made explosives. Officials-are asking those who may have seen flashes of light in the area, or those with other infor- mation about this incident, to call -- department at 825- Two of the explosive devices found Hi, Auntie Susan!
