Diagnostics of experimental copper intoxication by industrial emission from a copper smelter on the basis of accumulation and distribution of Cu, Zn, Fe, Mo, Se, As, Cd and Pb in the liver, kidneys, spleen, lung, heart, muscles, uterus, ovaries and bones were evaluated on 10 non-pregnant ewes. The ewes were randomly divided into two groups. Group B received addition of ammonium molybdate and sodium sulphate to the 24th day. The first animal from group B died of copper poisoning on the 36th day and in group A on the 38th day of the experiment. The administration of ammonium molybdate and sodium sulphate had no unambiguous effect on accumulation of individual elements in the organs of ewes investigated.
