In this study, the concentration of Pb and Cd was determined in some agricultural
products in order to compare this concentration and to know the capacity of these products
to accumulate these two elements. The samples were digested by nitric acid
and the
elements were determined by the atomic absorption spectroscopy. The results showed that
the concentration of lead and cadmium in protected products was less than the
concentration in unprotected products, and the concentration of lead was more than the
cadmium, these results can be explained by the extensive use of lead and the unprotected
agriculture products were exposed to the air pollution more than the protected products.
