abstract:
In a field study carried out in the Lublin region in 2005-2007 with integrated cherry, blackcurrant and raspberry production, contents of cadmium and lead were assessed. These metals were indicated with atomic absorption spectrophotometric (AAS) method. We found that the average contents of cadmium in cherry (0.0085 mg), blackcurrant (0.010 mg ) and raspberry (0.0305 mg Cd kg-1 of fresh matter) were low and did not exceed the norms. Average lead contents in cherry (0.080 mg), blackcurrant (0.109 mg) and raspberry (0.075 mg Pb kg-1 of fresh matter) were also very low and did not exceed Department of Health norms. Assessment of cherry, blackcurrant and raspberry fruit from the Lublin region with integrated production for the contents of cadmium and lead indicates they can be consumed without restrictions.
