Abstract:
Vegetables with trace elements are necessary for human body,
therefore these element are needed to be supplied continually
for daily life. In this report three element of Cd, Pb and Co
were isolated from stem and leaf of spinach and Celery
vegetables, and from the soil of Ghazvin and
Khoramabad cities In Iran. The characterization was done by
Atomic Absorption; by comparing the results, it shows that
absorption strength for Cd, Co and Pb elements from soil in
Celery vegetable is lower than in Spinach vegetable. The air
pollution has no effect in absorbing the elements Cd, Co and Pb
by Celery vegetable but, it has been observed that air
pollution has some effect for absorption of Cd, CO and Pb by
Spinach vegetable In Ghazvin Industrial city. The concentration
of elements Pb, Cd and Co in Spinach leaf vegetable higher than
Spinach stems vegetable and also concentration of elements Pb,
Cd and Co in Celery stems vegetable higher than Celery leaf
vegetable.
Keywords: Heavy, Toxic elements, Spinach vegetable, Celery
Vegetable, Transfer Factor.
