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 mint and basil vegetables,
and from the soil of Saveh and Broujerd
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 basil vegetable
is lower than in mint vegetable. The air pollution has no effect
in absorbing the elements Cd, Co and Pb by basil vegetable but,
it has been observed that air pollution has some effect for
absorption of Cd, CO and Pb by mint vegetable In Saveh
Industrial city.
Keywords: Heavy, Toxic elements, Mint vegetable, Basil
Vegetable, Transfer Factor.
