Abstract :
Heavy metals Pb, Zn, Cd and Ni were found in samples of eggplant collected in the Municipality of
Plovdiv. Sample preparation was carried by microwave system Mileston 1200 MEGA. In determining
the amount of heavy metals in plant samples ICP - OES were used. To check the accuracy of the method,
a reference material CTA-VTL-2 (Virginia tobacco leaves) was used. It was found that the
concentrations of the heavy metals determined in the tested eggplant samples were lower than the
admissible ones regulated by the World Health Organization.
