THE EVALUATION OF HEAVY METALS CONTENT IN FRUITS AND VEGETABLES USING THE ICP-MS METHOD – (INDUCTIVELY CUPLED PLASMA-MASS SPECTROMETRY)

Published in Scientific Papers. Series "Journal of Young Scientist", Vol. 5
Written by Alin DANCA

The aim of this paper was to assess the heavy metals contents of carrots and apples provided from Romanian markets and supermarkets. Arsenic, cadmium, copper, lead and zinc were the heavy metals selected to be analyzed. The amount of heavy metals was determined by using the ICP-MS method (mass spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma. The data showed that metal concentrations are in accordance with concentrations required by low for fresh vegetables and fruits, with the exceptions of zinc content in apple samples.
