Abstract		Lead and cadmium concentrations in various tissues (meat, liver, kidney, spleen, skin, bone, gizzard, heart muscle) of hens, broilers and eggs (whites, yolks) from Slovenia were analysed. The contamination leves of poultry with lead and cadmium in Slovenia were established. The comparison of five regions in Slovenia has indicated that regarding the degree of contamination of poultry with Pb and Cd - the most contaminated is the Celje region. Other regions do not significantly differentiate among themselves. Our results were compared with results from other countries and it was established that concentrations of Pb and Cd in tissues of hens in Slovenia are higher than in Germany, the Netherlands and the USA.
