ESTIMATION OF HEAVY METAL LEVELS IN GREEN LEAFY VEGETABLES PURCHASED FROM SUCEAVA

In the present study the levels of five important heavy metals were identified in vegetable samples purchased from Suceava local markets. The concentrations of Cadmium (Cd), Lead (Pb), Iron (Fe), Zinc (Zn) and Copper (Cu) were analysed using a mass spectrometer with inductively coupled plasma (ICP-M...

The mean levels of heavy metals examined in spinach (Spinacia oleracea), ramsons (Allium ursinum), lettuce (Lactuca sativa), orache (Atriplex hortensis) and nettle (Urtica dioica) were found to be in the order: Fe (13.52 µg/g) > Cu (4.83 µg/g) > Zn (3.623 µg/g) > Cd (1.890 µg/g)> Pb (0.290 µg/g).
