Heavy Metal Determination by ICP-MS in Fenugreek and Spinach Vegetables

Abstract

Lead, Chromium, Cadmium, and Nickel levels in cultivated spinach and fenugreek were the focus of this study. Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry was used to analyse all of the samples (ICP-MS). The transfer factor of HMs from soil to examined vegetables and exposure to examined heavy metals was computed. Vegetable roots, stems, and leaves have higher percentage quantities of the heavy metals Ni, Pb, Cr, and Cd than has considered acceptable. Due to their high metal content, in our study may endanger human health.
