[Determination of the levels of lead, cadmium, copper, zinc, and iron in selected foods].
Vegetables from allotment gardens in the area of Kraków, from the trade (produced at a distance of about 25 km from Kraków), and from farms situated about 100 km from Kraków (control samples) were investigated by atom absorption spectroscopy. In the vegetables from the allotment gardens the levels of the determined elements were on an average several times higher (p less than 0.01) than that of the controls. In a few cases the maximum levels of some elements were near the admissible limit. Furthermore, Pb, Cd, Cu, Zn, and Fe were determined in pigs and cattle (muscle, kidney, liver). The average levels of Pb and Cd gave no reason for objection.
