title: [Arsenic, lead and cadmium in home-made preserves of fruit and vegetables from previous years. 2. Climbing beans since the harvest year 1913].
abstract: Levels of arsenic, lead and cadmium in climbing beans of harvest years 1913 to 1986, home-sterilized in glass jars, were determined by atomic absorption spectrometry. Concentrations of arsenic showed a decreasing trend from 1913 (highest value) to 1955, all levels being above 5 micrograms kg-1, whereas after 1955 only levels below 5 micrograms kg-1 were found. Presumably the formerly allowed arsenic containing pesticides are responsible for this. No clearly increasing or decreasing trend in the concentrations of lead and cadmium were observed.
