Abstract
The quantitative analysis of selected toxic heavy metals (Cd and Pb) and metalloid (As) as well as the trace element
(Zn) in few vegetables and soil has been carried out by specific method-inductively coupled plasma-optical
emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) in our recent research work. Samples of soil and some vegetables were taken
close to our four cities/regions in Macedonia: Skopje, Veles, Ohrid and Kocani, in the time period/duration of
November to December 2012. We have illustrated the concentration of Cd, Pb, As and Zn for our samples and
found in such orders, the highest concentrations of Pb in cauliflower is 1.222 mg/kg, Cd in carrot is 0.192 mg/kg, Zn
in leek is 0.319 mg/kg and As in onion is 0.228 mg/kg in the Veles (Bashino village/region), and the highest
concentration values of Pb in leek is 1.261 mg/kg, Cd in carrot is 1.027 mg/kg, Zn in carrot 0.251 mg/kg and As in
cabbage is 0.057 mg/kg in the region of Skopje (near cement Usje), respectively. All these concentrations are in
relation to the prescribed criteria of WHO-World health organization and FAO-Food and Agriculture Organization.
Finally, we get that, there is a strong correlation between the concentration of Zn in vegetables and soil in our
present analytical work.
