Background: Meat is considered a good source of animal vitamins, minerals, and proteins in some parts of the world, such as the Arabian Peninsula, India, and the Middle East. Measuring metal concentrations in camel meat is therefore essential for preventing food safety threats, which in turn protect consumers. Camel meat can be contaminated with heavy metals that may pose problems for human health and food safety. Methods: In this study, a determination of the concentrations of heavy or toxic metals that may be harmful to human health was made in camel meat obtained from different sources and butcher shops over a period of time in Samawah city. A total of 100 samples from different locations in Samawah city were collected for measurement each week using an atomic absorption spectrometer. Results: This was a positive sign for ensuring human health since camel meat was not polluted in any of the tested samples.
