Liver and kidney tissues of raccoons from Tuskegee, Alabama, were analyzed for Hg and Pb contents. The mean levels of Hg and Pb were 0.41 and 3.24 ppm in livers and 0.24 and 4.95 ppm in kidneys, respectively. These metal levels showed no significant differences between livers and kidneys or between males and females.
