Abstract
The objective of the study was to evaluate the presence of lead in several food products of plant origin. An atomic absorption spectroscopic quantitative method for the analysis of Pb+2 was developed and validated using an Analytik Jena ContrAA 300 apparatus equipped with an air-acetylene flame and a high-resolution continuum source. The analyzed food products were wheat, wheat flour, onions, corn, corn flour, carrots, beans, potatoes and cabbage grown in three geographical areas, on three soil types. The results obtained were in line with the limits laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 - Consolidated acts as far as the maximum admissible level of Pb+2 in foods.
