Abstract
Trace metals pollution has detrimental consequences on the ecosystem and environment in general.
Heavy metals can contaminate the environment in direct or indirect ways. Some of the most known
paths of polluting the environment today are mining, agriculture, industrial operations, improper
waste disposal, etc. Industrial activities are also one of the main sources of pollution. Therefore, in
addition to their existence in water and the environment, these trace elements must also be tested in
food samples.
This experimental investigation offers data of heavy metal concentration in dairy products near the
power plants of Kosova, Kastriot. To do the determination ot these metals, we used the inductively
coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) technique. Particularly, arsenic, cadmium,
chromium, copper, iron, mercury, lead, and zinc were among the heavy metals examined.
It is never sufficient to supply information about the worst pollution but is is a fact that pollution
should always be continuously monitored to prevent both human and environmental catastrophic
events. Because of this, we can state that the contamination that we are dealing with is average, and
ongoing analysis is necessary to keep this region under control.
Keywords: heavy metal pollution, dairy products, ICP OES technique, power plants
