The contamination of the environment, soil and meat of wild animals with radionuclides can negatively affect human health. The aim of our study was to analyse the risk arising from post-Chernobyl contamination of the meat of wild boars ( Sus scrofa ) originating from the district Levice, southern Slovakia, with the radioactive artificial element  137 Cs. The level of natural radionuclide  40 K was also determined. We examined altogether 45 samples obtained from 9 wild boars hunted in this area during the period of 2013—2015. From each animal we collected and analysed samples from the thigh, stomach contents, stomach muscles and skin. We also examined samples of soil from the locations where these animals were shot. The activity values of radioactive caesium  137 Cs determined in this study were very low and therefore the consumption of wild boar meat originating from this location presents no risk to human health.
