All concentrations in local meat exceeded the permissible limits internationally, except for zinc, which is within the permissible values. The lead was recorded in sheep liver of Al-Sharqat and Tikrit (5.42, 2.29 ppm, respectively). The cadmium in sheep liver of Tikrit city and Shirqat (1.90 and 1.92 ppm, respectively). The copper in the liver was in the sheep of Shirqat and Tikrit (9.98, 7.42 ppm, respectively). The copper and zinc were within the safe and acceptable ranges, while lead and cadmium exceeded the permissible limits MRLs. The concentration of lead was in kidney of Sheep in Tikrit and Shirqat (3.13, 2.53 ppm, respectively). The cadmium was recorded in the kidney of sheep Tikrit (1.40 ppm). The zinc was in the sheep of Shirqat district and Tikrit (67.83, 62.67 ppm). The copper was within the permissible limits (MRLs), while lead, cadmium and zinc exceeded those limits.
