title: [Arsenic, lead and cadmium in the customary homemade fruit and vegetable preserves from earlier decades. 1. Cherries from the harvest year 1911 on].
abstract: Levels of arsenic, lead and cadmium in cherries of harvest years 1911 to 1986, home-sterilized in glass jars, were determined by atomic absorption spectrometry. Concentrations of arsenic showed a decreasing trend during that period, presumably reflecting the discontinuation of the use of arsenic-containing pesticides. Unexpectedly, some of the older samples also contained more lead or more cadmium than more recent samples.
